Used in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation due to its porous structure and thermal stability. Exhibits potential in catalytic applications, particularly in promoting organic transformations such as oxidation and coupling reactions. Investigated for use in optoelectronic devices owing to its luminescent properties when doped with certain ions. Also explored in pharmaceutical research as a carrier for targeted drug delivery systems, leveraging its biocompatibility and controlled release characteristics.
