Used as a chelating agent in analytical chemistry for the determination of metal ions such as aluminum, iron, and copper due to its ability to form stable complexes. Widely applied in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks and catalysts. Employed in pharmaceuticals as an antiseptic and disinfectant, particularly in topical treatments for skin infections. Acts as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial cooling systems by forming protective films on metal surfaces. Utilized in agriculture as a fungicide and preservative for wood and textiles. Also serves as a ligand in luminescent materials and sensors for detecting metal ions in environmental and biological samples.
