Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a key building block for semiconducting materials in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its extended conjugated structure enhances charge carrier mobility, making it suitable for high-performance printable electronics. The hexyl side chains improve solubility in common organic solvents, facilitating solution processing techniques like spin coating or inkjet printing. It is also employed in the development of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and sensors due to its tunable electronic properties and stability under ambient conditions.
