Used as an analytical reagent for the detection and spectrophotometric determination of metal ions such as iron, copper, and nickel in environmental and industrial samples. Its structure allows chelation with transition metals, producing colored complexes that can be measured reliably. Also investigated for use in dye synthesis due to its aromatic and imidamide characteristics, contributing to lightfast and stable colorants. Shows potential in pharmaceutical research as a scaffold for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial studies.
