Used as a fluorescent probe in biochemical and analytical applications due to its strong emission properties in the presence of specific metal ions or biomolecules. Its structure allows for high binding affinity to DNA and proteins, making it useful in cellular imaging and staining techniques. Also employed in the development of chemosensors for detecting environmental pollutants such as heavy metals. Shows potential in optoelectronic devices because of its thermal stability and ability to transport electrons. Commonly applied in research settings for studying protein interactions and nucleic acid structures.
