Used as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its ability to act as a bridging ligand. Its pyridyl groups readily coordinate with metal ions, making it valuable in catalysis and materials science. Also investigated for applications in photoluminescent materials and sensors because of its electronic properties. Shows potential in pharmaceutical research as a scaffold for bioactive molecules, especially in designing compounds with antimicrobial or anticancer activity.
