This chemical is primarily used in the field of materials science, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices. Its structure makes it suitable for creating stable and efficient charge transport layers in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are utilized for gas storage, separation, and catalysis due to their porous and customizable nature. Its dicarboxylic acid groups enable strong coordination with metal ions, enhancing the stability and functionality of these frameworks.
