Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and materials science applications due to its strong emission properties and ability to form stable complexes with metal ions. Its extended aromatic structure enables efficient π-π stacking, making it suitable for sensing, imaging, and in the development of supramolecular architectures. Commonly employed in the design of chemosensors for detecting cations and anions in solution. Also explored in organic electronics for light-harvesting systems and as a building block in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable optical features.
