Used primarily in environmental and analytical chemistry as a fluorescent probe to study complex organic molecules and their interactions. It helps in detecting and analyzing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in various samples, such as soil, water, and air, due to its strong fluorescence properties. Additionally, it serves as a model compound in photochemical studies to understand the behavior of PAHs under different light conditions. In material science, it is employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices due to its ability to enhance light emission efficiency. Its applications also extend to biochemical research, where it is used to label and track biomolecules in cellular studies.
