Used as a key building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated polymers and porous organic frameworks. Its triple bonds enable click chemistry reactions, making it valuable in materials science for creating rigid, aromatic structures. Commonly employed in the development of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its ability to form stable, extended networks. Also utilized in the synthesis of carbon-rich materials and nanomaterials for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
