This chemical is widely used in the field of materials science, particularly in the development of advanced organic frameworks and coordination polymers. Its unique structure allows it to act as a building block for creating highly ordered, porous materials that are useful in gas storage and separation processes. Additionally, it plays a significant role in the design of molecular sensors due to its ability to bind selectively with various analytes, making it valuable for detecting environmental pollutants or biological molecules. In photodynamic therapy, it serves as a photosensitizer, where it generates reactive oxygen species upon light exposure to target and destroy cancer cells. Its application extends to catalysis as well, where it facilitates various chemical reactions by acting as a catalyst or catalyst support. Furthermore, due to its stable porphyrin structure and ability to absorb light over a broad wavelength range, this compound is utilized in the development of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to enhance the efficiency of converting light energy into electrical energy, as well as in electron transfer systems and other photochemical processes.
