Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its conjugated structure makes it suitable for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and fluorescent sensors. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments due to its strong light absorption and emission properties. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry as a scaffold for designing bioactive molecules, particularly in antitumor and antimicrobial research. Additionally, it serves as a ligand in catalytic systems for cross-coupling reactions.
