Used primarily as an electron-accepting material in organic electronics, this compound serves as a powerful dopant in organic semiconductors to enhance electrical conductivity. It is especially effective in improving the performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to its strong electron-withdrawing nature. Its ability to form charge-transfer complexes with various donor molecules makes it valuable in the development of conductive and optoelectronic materials. Additionally, it has been explored in molecular electronics and as a component in supramolecular architectures for advanced functional materials.
