Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties, it helps in visualizing cellular structures and processes. It is also employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for its efficient electroluminescence. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation applications. Its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions makes it useful in catalysis and sensor technologies.
