Used in organic electronics as a component in OLEDs, particularly as a host or emissive material in blue-light emitting devices. Its rigid aromatic structure provides good thermal stability and efficient luminescence. Also employed in research as a building block for synthesizing more complex heterocyclic compounds with potential applications in photovoltaics and sensors. Shows promise in medicinal chemistry due to observed biological activity in some derivatives, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties.
