Used in organic electronics as a building block for semiconducting materials, particularly in the synthesis of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its bromine functionality allows for easy modification through cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of complex conjugated systems. Commonly employed in the development of hole-transport materials and fluorescent dyes due to its rigid aromatic structure and favorable electronic properties. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate for bioactive molecules and in materials science for designing high-performance polymers.
