Used as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of ligands for transition metal catalysts. It finds application in coordination chemistry due to its ability to act as a bridging ligand, facilitating the formation of metal-organic frameworks and supramolecular structures. Also employed in the development of pharmaceutical intermediates and functional materials where sulfur-containing heterocyclic systems enhance electronic or biological properties. Its structural rigidity and donor capabilities make it valuable in designing sensors and catalysts with specific geometric and electronic requirements.
