Used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling systems, particularly effective in protecting copper and its alloys from oxidative degradation in aqueous environments. Exhibits strong adsorption properties on metal surfaces, forming a protective film that prevents acid attack and pitting. Also investigated for use in electrochemical applications due to its redox-active structure and stability under varying pH conditions. Shows potential as a ligand in coordination chemistry for developing metal-organic frameworks with catalytic activity.
