Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its conjugated structure, enabling applications in optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and fluorescent sensors. Its styryl-based framework exhibits strong fluorescence and tunable emission, making it suitable for designing probes that detect environmental changes or specific analytes. Also employed as a building block in the synthesis of more complex dyes and photoactive compounds for research in material science and medicinal chemistry.
