Used as a key intermediate in organic semiconductor materials, particularly in the development of high-performance OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) and perovskite solar cells. Its brominated carbazole structure enables efficient functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, allowing the synthesis of tailored hole-transport materials and host compounds. The presence of the 2-ethylhexyl group enhances solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-based processing techniques like spin-coating and inkjet printing for thin-film device fabrication. Exhibits good thermal stability and hole-transport properties, making it valuable in improving device efficiency and longevity in optoelectronic applications.
