Used as a fluorescent probe in photochemical studies due to its strong emission properties under UV light. It serves as a model compound in organic semiconductor research, particularly in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic materials. Its rigid, planar structure and ability to undergo photoexcitation make it valuable in studying energy transfer mechanisms and exciton behavior in conjugated aromatic systems. Also employed in the synthesis of advanced materials for optoelectronic applications.
