Used as a selective ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the formation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and catalysts. Its rigid triazine core and multiple pyrazole binding sites allow for stable complexes with transition metals, enhancing catalytic activity in organic transformations such as oxidation and coupling reactions. Commonly employed in homogeneous catalysis due to its ability to fine-tune metal center reactivity and improve complex solubility. Also investigated in luminescent materials and sensors owing to its electron-rich structure and metal-dependent optical properties.
