Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties and good photostability. It is incorporated into sensors for detecting metal ions, especially zinc and copper, in environmental and cellular systems. Also applied in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an emissive layer component, contributing to blue light emission. Its electron-transport characteristics make it suitable for use in optoelectronic devices and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex luminescent materials.
