Used as a fluorescent probe in bioimaging due to its strong emission and photostability. It selectively binds to cellular components like lipid droplets and membranes, enabling real-time visualization in live cells. Also applied in organic electronics as an emissive material in OLEDs because of its efficient charge transfer and light-emitting properties. Additionally, utilized in organic photovoltaics research to improve the efficiency of converting solar energy to electricity by serving as a light absorber in solar cell layers. Its bromine groups allow further functionalization for use in conjugated polymers and sensors. Shows promise in photodynamic therapy due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species under light exposure.
