Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong anthracene-based fluorescence. Its amine functionality allows for chemical modification, making it useful in the synthesis of larger conjugated systems for optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Also employed in the study of energy transfer processes and as a building block in supramolecular chemistry. Its planar anthracene moiety enables π-stacking interactions, beneficial in sensor design and molecular recognition studies.
