Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. Commonly applied in the development of sensors for detecting metal ions, anions, and biomolecules. Serves as a building block in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for optoelectronic devices like organic LEDs and solar cells. Also investigated in medicinal chemistry for its potential bioactive properties, including antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Its electron-deficient structure makes it valuable in designing organic semiconductors and dyes.
