Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission and photostability. It is effective in labeling cellular membranes and tracking lipid dynamics in live cells. Its methoxyphenyl and tert-butyl groups enhance lipophilicity and membrane permeability, making it suitable for intracellular staining. Also applied in optoelectronic devices as an emissive layer component owing to its efficient blue fluorescence and thermal stability. Soluble in common organic solvents, it is processed in thin-film coatings for sensors and light-emitting diodes.
