Used as a fluorescent probe in sensing applications due to its strong emission properties. Particularly effective in detecting metal ions and nitroaromatic compounds in environmental and analytical systems. Employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as a blue emitter component. Serves as a building block in supramolecular chemistry for constructing metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers. Also applied in photovoltaic devices as a component in organic semiconductors. Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-stacking interactions, making it useful in designing sensors and electronic materials.
