Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its structure supports high charge carrier mobility, making it suitable for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Commonly employed in donor materials for organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to its strong electron-donating properties and good film-forming ability. Also utilized in the development of fluorescent sensors and hole-transport layers in perovskite solar cells. Its hexyl side chains enhance solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-based processing techniques like spin coating and inkjet printing.
