Used as a versatile ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Its three imidazole groups can bind to metal ions, enabling the formation of porous and stable network structures. These frameworks are explored for gas storage, separation of small molecules, and catalysis due to their high surface area and tunable functionality. Also investigated in the development of luminescent materials and sensors, where its rigid aromatic core and nitrogen-rich sites enhance electronic and binding properties. Additionally, serves as a building block in supramolecular chemistry for designing functional assemblies through hydrogen bonding and metal coordination.
