Used in organic electronics due to its electron-transport properties, particularly in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its planar, conjugated structure supports strong π-π stacking, enhancing charge carrier mobility. Also investigated as a fluorescent probe in bioimaging for its emission characteristics in cellular environments. Serves as a building block in synthesizing kinase inhibitors and other pharmaceuticals targeting cancer pathways. Additionally, employed in dye-sensitized solar cells as a component of sensitizers for improved light absorption and energy conversion efficiency.
