Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its extended aromatic structure with bromine functionality allows for cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in creating conjugated systems for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Also explored in the development of fluorescent dyes and sensors due to its rigid, planar framework that supports strong π-π interactions and tunable emission properties.
