Used in organic electronics, particularly in the production of OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes), as a building block for host materials in blue phosphorescent devices. Its electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhances thermal stability and electron transport properties, improving device efficiency and lifetime. Also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its rigid aromatic structure and metabolic resistance imparted by fluorine atoms. Shows potential in photoredox catalysis and as a scaffold in materials science for developing fluorescent sensors and optoelectronic materials.
