Used in organic electronics as a fluorescent dye and building block for conjugated polymers. Its structure supports efficient π-electron delocalization, making it suitable for optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs and sensors. Also applied in research for nonlinear optical materials due to its strong two-photon absorption properties. Soluble in common organic solvents, it is easily processed in thin-film fabrication. Shows potential in bioimaging because of its bright fluorescence and ability to penetrate cell membranes.
