Used as a fluorescent probe in analytical chemistry due to its strong emission properties, particularly for detecting metal ions such as zinc and aluminum in environmental and biological samples. Its structure allows for chelation with metal ions, resulting in measurable changes in fluorescence intensity. Also investigated for potential use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an emissive layer component. Shows promise in biochemical research for studying protein interactions and cellular imaging because of its ability to penetrate cell membranes and bind selectively to specific biomolecules.
