Used as a fluorescent dye for lipid droplet staining and membrane imaging in cells and tissues; serves as a versatile synthetic intermediate for the preparation of functionalized BODIPY probes via cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki, Sonogashira, Stille) at the 2,6-iodo positions; employed in the construction of photosensitizers, singlet oxygen generators, and optoelectronic materials.
