Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of energetic materials and coordination polymers due to its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions. Its rigid aromatic structure and multiple nitrogen sites make it valuable in developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage or catalysis. Also employed in the formulation of heat-resistant polymers and flame-retardant materials owing to its high thermal stability. Additionally, it serves as a ligand in luminescent complexes and has potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
