Used in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its excellent electron-transporting properties. It is also employed in the synthesis of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications in gas storage, separation, and catalysis. Additionally, it serves as a key component in the creation of fluorescent sensors for detecting metal ions and other analytes in analytical chemistry. Its structural stability and ability to form complexes with metals make it valuable in materials science and nanotechnology research.
