Used in research as a ligand for metal complexes, particularly in catalysis and coordination chemistry. Shows potential in the development of fluorescent sensors due to its pyridine and pyridazinone moieties, which can enhance photophysical properties. Also investigated for biological activity, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties, making it a scaffold of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, supporting use in the synthesis of more complex heterocyclic systems.
