Used as a low-molecular-weight gelator in organic solvents, forming thermoreversible and stimuli-responsive gels with applications in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and controlled release soft materials. Its self-assembly into ordered fibrous networks enables the creation of biocompatible structures.

Employed in sensing applications, including pH and temperature-responsive detection as well as gas sensors for acidic or weak basic gases, due to the reactive hydrazide and ether groups that induce measurable electrical or optical changes.

Shows potential in optoelectronic and electronic devices, such as single-crystal transistors, owing to its ability to form highly ordered crystalline structures with controlled conductivity and stability.
