Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes and optical brighteners due to its rigid aromatic structure and amino groups that enhance electron donation. Its bifunctional amine groups allow for easy modification in polymer chemistry, particularly in creating specialty polyamides with improved thermal stability. Also employed in coordination chemistry to form metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable porosity, useful in gas storage and sensing applications. The compound’s acidic and basic sites make it suitable for designing pH-responsive materials in drug delivery systems.
