Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties in the visible range. It selectively binds to cellular membranes and allows real-time tracking of membrane dynamics in live cells. Also employed in optoelectronic devices as an emissive layer component in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Its conjugated structure enhances electron transport, making it suitable for sensor applications detecting volatile organic compounds. Additionally, serves as a building block in synthesizing more complex heterocyclic compounds for pharmaceutical research.
