Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the development of metal-organic frameworks and catalysts. Its structure supports the formation of complexes with transition metals, useful in catalytic reactions. Also investigated for potential applications in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of imidazole and pyridine moieties, which are common in drug molecules. Shows promise in the design of new materials for optoelectronics and sensors.
