Used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling systems due to its strong adsorption on metal surfaces, especially copper and steel. It forms a protective film that prevents oxidative degradation and extends equipment lifespan. Also employed in agrochemical formulations as a stabilizer to enhance the shelf life of pesticides. Shows potential in pharmaceutical research as a building block for compounds with antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Its conjugated structure makes it suitable for use in fluorescent probes and sensors in analytical chemistry.
