Used in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly as a building block for conjugated polymers and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Its boronic acid groups enable Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing the construction of extended π-conjugated systems. These systems are valuable in developing organic semiconductors, sensors, and optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). The rigid, linear structure enhances electronic communication across the framework, improving charge transport properties.
