Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties. It serves in the detection of metal ions in solution, particularly aluminum and zinc, by exhibiting enhanced fluorescence upon binding. Also investigated for use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an emissive component. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry as a scaffold for anticancer and antimicrobial agents due to its conjugated structure and ability to intercalate with biomolecules. Employed in research settings for studying protein interactions and enzyme inhibition.
