2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexamethoxytriphenylene (CAS number 808-57-1) is a D3h symmetric molecule functionalized with six methoxy groups at the ortho-positions. 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexamethoxytriphenylene exhibits high reversibility in electrochemical redox reactions, enabling its application as a cathode material. The battery cell incorporating 40 wt% of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexamethoxytriphenylene demonstrates full specific capacity at current densities up to 3 C. Being a planar molecule, 2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexamethoxytriphenylene finds its application in fundamental studies on charge-transfer interaction by scanning tunneling microscopy.

2,3,6,7,10,11-Hexamethoxytriphenylene can undergo demethylation with a strong Lewis acid for the synthesis of hexahydroxytriphenylene. Hexahydroxytriphenylene is used to prepare hydrogen-bonded frameworks, supported by its strong π–π interactions.
