Used as a key building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly for constructing porous materials with catalytic or gas adsorption properties. Its dual pyridine and pyrazole functionalities allow for versatile coordination with metal ions, making it valuable in designing luminescent sensors and coordination polymers. Also employed in research for developing organic electronic materials due to its nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry as a scaffold for bioactive molecules, though primarily utilized in materials science applications.
