Used as a building block in supramolecular chemistry due to its rigid, three-dimensional structure that enhances molecular recognition and host-guest interactions. Its shape prevents π-π stacking, making it ideal for designing porous organic materials like molecular cages and frameworks. Commonly applied in the development of advanced polymers with high thermal stability and low dielectric constants for use in microelectronics. Also employed in catalysis and sensing platforms where structural rigidity improves selectivity and performance.
