Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a key semiconductor material in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its fused heteroaromatic structure enables strong π-π stacking, promoting efficient charge carrier transport. It is especially valued in the development of organic thin-film transistors for flexible displays and low-cost, large-area electronics. Due to its high stability and good film-forming properties, it is also employed in research on organic photovoltaics and sensors. Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modification via cross-coupling reactions, making it a versatile building block in synthesizing advanced organic semiconductors.
