Used as a corrosion inhibitor in acidic environments, particularly in industrial cleaning and pickling processes. It forms a protective layer on metal surfaces, reducing the rate of metal degradation. Also investigated for its potential in pharmaceutical applications due to its antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Acts as a ligand in coordination chemistry, forming complexes with transition metals that show catalytic activity. Employed in the development of organic semiconductors and electronic materials owing to its heterocyclic structure and electron-transport characteristics.
