Used as a corrosion inhibitor in acidic environments, particularly in industrial cleaning and pickling processes. It effectively protects metal surfaces such as steel and copper from acid-induced degradation by forming a protective adsorption layer. Also investigated for its potential in optoelectronic applications due to its conjugated structure, showing promise in organic semiconductor materials. Additionally, serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry, forming complexes with transition metals that exhibit catalytic or antimicrobial properties.
