Used in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive compounds, particularly in the development of anticancer and antimicrobial agents. Shows potential in kinase inhibition studies, which are relevant for targeted cancer therapies. Also explored in materials science for its luminescent properties, making it useful in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and fluorescent sensors. Its rigid aromatic structure supports use in the design of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices.
