Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its rigid conjugated structure makes it suitable for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs), where it contributes to efficient charge transport and thermal stability. Also employed in the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and as a ligand in catalytic systems due to its strong coordination ability with transition metals. Its extended π-system allows for tuning of electronic properties in sensor development and molecular electronics.
