Used primarily in organic synthesis, it serves as a key intermediate in the production of dyes and pigments, particularly those with anthracene structures. Its role in the development of fluorescent materials is significant, contributing to advancements in optical brighteners, sensors, and organic electronics such as OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes), due to its anthracene structure providing excellent color and luminescence efficiency. Additionally, it finds application in research focused on photochemical reactions, aiding in the study of energy transfer processes, molecular photophysics, and materials with special optical and electronic properties in chemistry and materials science.
