Used as a precursor in the synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon materials for electrocatalysis, particularly in fuel cells and metal-air batteries due to its ability to chelate metal ions and form conductive, stable frameworks. Also employed in the preparation of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) where its bidentate structure facilitates the formation of extended networks with transition metals. Its amino groups enhance solubility and reactivity in polymerization reactions, making it suitable for developing functional coatings and sensors. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic electronics and photovoltaic devices owing to its electron-accepting properties and planar aromatic structure.
