Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and materials science applications due to its strong emission properties. Employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and fluorescent sensors for detecting metal ions or biomolecules. Acts as a building block in synthesizing conjugated polymers and supramolecular architectures for optoelectronic devices, including organic solar cells. Also utilized in DNA labeling and imaging studies because of its intercalating ability and high photostability.
