Used in organic electronics as a building block for semiconductor materials, particularly in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its rigid aromatic structure and electron-rich nature enhance charge transport properties, making it suitable for high-performance optoelectronic devices. Also employed in photovoltaic cells to improve light absorption and energy conversion efficiency. Commonly modified to create derivatives for use in fluorescent sensors and dyes due to its strong luminescent characteristics.
