Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic semiconductors, particularly in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its brominated bithiophene core enables efficient palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, facilitating the construction of high-performance donor-acceptor copolymers. The long dodecyl side chains improve solubility in organic solvents, which enhances processability and film-forming properties in solution-based fabrication techniques. This compound contributes to tuning the electronic properties and morphology of active layers in organic electronic devices, leading to improved charge carrier mobility and device efficiency.
