Used as a fluorescent probe in analytical chemistry due to its strong emission properties in the presence of specific metal ions. Acts as a chelating agent for aluminum, zinc, and other transition metals, enabling detection in environmental and biological samples. Employed in the synthesis of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for sensor development. Also serves as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals owing to its heterocyclic structure. Shows potential in optoelectronic applications because of its luminescent behavior when complexed with rare earth metals.
