Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its strong emission properties and ability to bind to specific cellular components. Its structure allows for good cell membrane permeability, making it suitable for live-cell imaging. Also employed in the development of sensors for metal ions, particularly zinc and aluminum, where it shows enhanced fluorescence upon binding. Applied in optoelectronic devices as a component in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its efficient luminescence. Additionally, serves as a building block in synthesizing dyes and photoactive materials for use in solar cells and molecular electronics.
