Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its electron-transport properties, particularly in OLEDs and OFETs. Serves as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, especially in developing compounds with anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Its bromo functional group allows for further cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems for drug discovery and material science. Also employed in the development of fluorescent probes and dyes owing to its rigid aromatic structure and favorable photophysical characteristics.
