Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its extended aromatic structure and electron-transport properties. Commonly applied in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and as a building block in conjugated polymers for optoelectronic devices. Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in synthesizing complex organic frameworks for research in photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Also explored in fluorescent probes and dyes owing to its rigid, planar structure that enhances emission characteristics.
