Used as a ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and catalytic complexes. Its ability to form stable chelates with transition metals makes it valuable in designing catalysts for organic transformations. Also employed in the development of luminescent materials and sensors due to its favorable electronic properties. Shows potential in proton-conducting materials for fuel cell applications because of its hydrogen bonding network and proton transfer capability. Additionally, explored in pharmaceutical research as a building block for bioactive compounds with antimicrobial or antifungal activity.
