Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties in the visible range. It binds selectively to specific protein structures, making it useful in cellular staining and microscopy. Also employed in the development of optoelectronic materials because of its good thermal stability and light-emitting characteristics. Shows potential in sensor applications for detecting metal ions in environmental and clinical samples. Investigated for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an emissive layer component.
