Used in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its ability to act as a multifunctional linker. The carboxylic acid groups and pyrazole ring enable strong coordination with metal ions, forming porous materials with high surface areas. These MOFs are applied in gas storage, separation processes, and catalysis. The compound also serves as a building block in the development of luminescent materials and sensors, where its structural rigidity and coordination properties enhance performance. Additionally, it has potential in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for bioactive molecules.
