Used as a key ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Its rigid structure and multiple binding sites allow for the formation of stable, porous materials suitable for gas storage, separation, and catalysis. Commonly employed in the development of luminescent sensors due to its ability to chelate lanthanide ions, enabling applications in detecting small molecules or environmental pollutants. Also investigated in pharmaceutical research for its potential antimicrobial and anticancer properties, leveraging the bioactive nature of triazole moieties.
