Used in the synthesis of advanced liquid crystal materials, particularly in the development of high-performance liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Its rigid, multi-aryl structure with carboxylic acid functional groups enables strong intermolecular interactions and precise molecular alignment, which are critical for achieving wide temperature range operation and fast response times in liquid crystal formulations. Also investigated as a building block in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its ability to chelate metal ions through carboxylate groups, offering potential in gas storage and catalysis. The fluorinated biphenyl units enhance thermal stability and influence dielectric anisotropy, making it suitable for electro-optic applications.
