Used as a redox-active compound in electrochemical sensors due to its stable quinone structure, enabling selective detection of biological and environmental analytes. Employed in organic synthesis as an oxidizing agent, particularly in dehydrogenation reactions. Investigated for its potential in photodynamic therapy and as a building block in the development of fluorescent probes, leveraging its conjugated aromatic system for light absorption and emission properties. Also explored in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and charge-transport materials.
