Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and materials science applications due to its strong emission properties. Serves as a building block in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and organic semiconductors for optoelectronic devices like OLEDs and sensors. Employed in the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) where its rigid, planar structure enhances π-π stacking interactions. Also utilized in supramolecular chemistry for studying host-guest systems and molecular recognition processes.
