Used as a highly efficient fluorescent sensor for detecting metal ions and anions in environmental and biological systems. Its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties make it ideal for solid-state lighting and optoelectronic devices. Also employed in the development of chemosensors due to its strong emission response upon binding with specific analytes. Applied in bioimaging because of its low cytotoxicity and high photostability in cellular environments. Serves as a building block in porous organic materials for gas adsorption and separation technologies.
