Used as a high-energy density fuel additive due to its strained cubic structure that releases significant energy upon combustion. Its rigid geometry also makes it valuable in the synthesis of advanced polymers and liquid crystals, where it enhances thermal stability and mechanical strength. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals for designing molecules with improved metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its unique symmetry is exploited in materials science for creating novel metal-organic frameworks and nonlinear optical materials.
