Used as a fluorescent probe in bioimaging due to its strong emission properties and ability to penetrate cell membranes. Exhibits high selectivity for detecting metal ions such as zinc and copper in aqueous environments, making it valuable in environmental monitoring and cellular metal ion sensing. Also applied in optoelectronic devices as an emissive layer component in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) owing to its thermal stability and efficient luminescence. Shows potential in photodynamic therapy as a photosensitizer under visible light irradiation.
