Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its ability to emit strong green fluorescence under UV light. Its structure allows for good cell membrane permeability, making it suitable for intracellular detection of reactive oxygen species. Also employed in the development of chemosensors for metal ion detection, particularly for aluminum and zinc in environmental and physiological samples. Shows potential in photodynamic therapy as a photosensitizer due to its light-induced reactive oxygen generation. Additionally, incorporated into polymer matrices for optical sensors and luminescent materials in solid-state devices.
