Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its conjugated structure and sulfur-nitrogen functionality, enhancing charge transport properties. Commonly applied in the synthesis of π-conjugated polymers for thin-film transistors and organic photovoltaics. Also serves as a ligand in catalytic systems for cross-coupling reactions, improving reaction efficiency and selectivity. Shows potential in fluorescent probes for metal ion detection, particularly for copper and mercury in environmental and biological samples. Investigated for antiproliferative activity in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to interact with specific enzyme targets.
