Used as a heat transfer fluid in high-temperature industrial processes due to its excellent thermal stability. Commonly found in molten salt or synthetic heat transfer systems where stable performance under elevated temperatures is required. Also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of liquid crystals and organic semiconductors. Its non-polar structure makes it suitable as a solvent or diluent in specialty chemical reactions, particularly in organometallic chemistry. Additionally, employed in research settings for studying aromatic hydrocarbon behavior and molecular packing in solid-state chemistry.
