Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its electron-transport properties, particularly in OLEDs and fluorescent sensors. Its rigid aromatic structure supports high thermal stability and efficient luminescence, making it suitable for optoelectronic devices. The benzothiazole moiety enables enzyme inhibition, contributing to its use as a building block in pharmaceutical intermediates for developing bioactive molecules with potential anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antimicrobial activity. Employed in fluorescence probes for detecting metal ions in environmental and biological systems, as well as in biochemical enzyme inhibitors.
