Used in materials science and coordination chemistry as a bridging ligand to construct metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers. Its nitrogen-rich structure allows strong binding to metal centers, enabling the design of porous materials for gas storage, catalysis, or sensing applications. Also investigated in organic electronics due to its electron-deficient character, supporting charge transport in thin-film devices. Additionally, serves as a building block in click chemistry and supramolecular assemblies through hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions.
