Used as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial metal protection, particularly in acidic environments. It forms a protective film on metal surfaces, reducing oxidation and degradation. Also applied in coordination chemistry as a chelating agent for transition metals, aiding in the development of metal sensors and catalytic systems. Shows potential in pharmaceutical research due to its bioactive scaffold, exhibiting antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in preliminary studies. Employed in analytical chemistry for selective detection of metal ions owing to its colorimetric response.
