This chemical is primarily utilized in the field of materials science, particularly in the development of luminescent materials and coordination polymers. Its ability to act as a tridentate ligand makes it valuable in forming stable complexes with various metal ions, which are then used in the creation of light-emitting devices, such as OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes). Additionally, it plays a role in the synthesis of supramolecular structures, where its structural properties facilitate the assembly of complex architectures. In research, it is often employed to study photophysical properties and electron transfer processes, contributing to advancements in optoelectronic applications and sensor technologies.
