Used as a ligand in coordination chemistry to form metal complexes with transition metals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt, which have specific structures and biological or catalytic properties.

Popular in developing catalysts for organic reactions, especially those requiring high specificity, such as carbon-carbon bond formation.

Employed in the development of sensors due to its selective binding to metal ions.

Investigated in supramolecular chemistry for constructing hydrogen-bonded networks.

Shows potential in medicinal chemistry as a scaffold for bioactive molecules, with a urea-like structure that may inhibit enzymes or exhibit antimicrobial activity.

Used as a starting material for synthesizing complex heterocyclic compounds, important in the materials and pharmaceutical industries.
