“…For example, zinc terephthalate is used as vulcanization activator in rubber production and calcium terephthalate, as lubricator for prevention of rubber sticking to engineering fibers [1]; tin terephthalate is used as capacitive dielectric [2]; ruthenium terephthalate exhibits semiconductor properties [3,4]. Due to their layered structure [5][6][7], metal phthalates and terephthalates are widely used as molecular sieves and adsorbents, in particular, copper(II) terephthalate is used as adsorbent for N 2 , Ar, and Xe [8].…”
