Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. It binds selectively to certain proteins and nucleic acids, making it useful in imaging and detection assays. Also employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an emissive material. Its rigid aromatic structure enhances stability and quantum efficiency in optoelectronic devices. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in synthesizing pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders.
