Used in organic electronics as a fluorescent emitter in OLED devices due to its strong blue luminescence and thermal stability. Also serves as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in developing kinase inhibitors. Its rigid fused-ring structure enhances electron transport properties, making it suitable for use in thin-film transistors and light-emitting diodes. Additionally, it has been investigated for use in bioimaging applications owing to its cell permeability and low cytotoxicity.
