Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and materials science applications due to its strong emission properties and photostability. Its bromine substituent allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it a versatile building block in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Commonly employed in the development of sensors for detecting metal ions or biomolecules, thanks to its ability to undergo fluorescence quenching or enhancement upon binding events. Also investigated for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and fluorescent dyes for imaging in cellular systems.
