Used as a high-energy density material in the development of energetic compounds, particularly in explosives and propellants due to its thermally stable aromatic oxadiazole core and nitro groups that enhance detonation performance. Its structure supports good oxygen balance and high heat of formation, making it valuable in designing insensitive munitions where safety and stability are critical. Also investigated as a fluorescent probe in materials science, leveraging its rigid conjugated system for sensing applications in solid-state devices.
