Used in fluorescent probes and sensors due to strong blue-green fluorescence under UV light. Applied in bioimaging for tracking cellular processes and detecting metal ions like zinc and calcium in biological systems. Employed in photodynamic therapy research as a photosensitizer carrier. Incorporated into polymer matrices for developing luminescent materials in optoelectronic devices. Also utilized in environmental monitoring to detect pollutants such as nitroaromatic compounds through fluorescence quenching.
