Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and materials science applications due to its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. It is particularly effective in detecting trace amounts of water in organic solvents, as its fluorescence intensity increases significantly in the presence of water. Also employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and chemosensors for monitoring environmental pollutants. Its strong emission in the solid state makes it suitable for solid-state optical devices and imaging agents in cellular studies.
