Used as a versatile ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and supramolecular architectures. Its rigid structure and multiple nitrogen donor sites enable strong binding with transition metals, facilitating the development of catalytic materials and porous networks for gas storage or separation. Also employed in the synthesis of luminescent complexes due to its ability to stabilize metal centers that exhibit photophysical activity. Additionally, it shows potential in electrochemical applications, including sensors and molecular electronic devices, where stable and conductive coordination polymers are required.
