Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties upon binding to specific cellular components. Exhibits high sensitivity to microenvironment changes, making it suitable for detecting pH variations and polarity in live cells. Also applied in the development of chemosensors for metal ion detection, particularly for copper and mercury in environmental samples. Its conjugated structure allows for integration into optoelectronic materials, including organic semiconductors and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Shows potential in photodynamic therapy as a photosensitizer under visible light irradiation.
