Used primarily in organic electronics as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance electron-transport materials. It is commonly employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to its strong electron-withdrawing properties and ability to enhance charge mobility. Its rigid, planar structure supports efficient π-conjugation, improving device efficiency and stability. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and sensors, where its optical properties enable detection of specific ions or biomolecules. Additionally, serves as a building block in the design of nonlinear optical materials for advanced photonic applications.
