Used as a ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the formation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and supramolecular architectures. Its structure allows for multiple binding sites, enabling the construction of complex networks with transition metals. These complexes are studied for their catalytic properties, magnetic behavior, and potential use in sensor development. Also employed in the design of luminescent materials and as a building block in the synthesis of porous coordination polymers for gas storage or separation applications.
