What use is an organic compound with a high melting point?
The other week in organic chemistry lab we produced Hexaphenylbenzene. This has an incredibly high melting point (454-456 °C) for an organic compound.
Which got me thinking -
What practical use is there for this compound? What would you use organic high-melting point compounds for, anyway? Is there any practical industrial use? It just seems odd to produce something for which there is no practical application.
