Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays due to its ability to bind selectively to specific protein structures. Its rigid aromatic framework enhances photostability, making it suitable for long-term imaging in cellular environments. Also employed in the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) where it acts as a bridging ligand, contributing to the structural stability and porosity of the framework. Shows potential in optoelectronic applications as a component in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to efficient luminescence properties.
