Used primarily in research as a fluorescent probe due to its strong photostability and emission properties in the visible range. It serves as a core structure in developing organic semiconductors for optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs and sensors. Also investigated for its intercalating ability with DNA, making it a candidate in studies related to anticancer agents and molecular biology tools. Its planar aromatic framework enhances stacking interactions in supramolecular chemistry, useful in designing functional materials.
