Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. It serves in the detection of metal ions and biomolecules in solution, particularly in sensing aluminum, zinc, and copper ions. Its fluorescence enhances in the presence of specific cations, making it valuable in developing chemosensors. Also applied in studies of protein binding and cellular imaging because of its ability to penetrate membranes and emit visible light under UV excitation. Commonly utilized in environmental monitoring to detect trace metal contaminants in water and biological samples.
