Used in organic electronics as a semiconductor material in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its high charge carrier mobility and thermal stability. Also employed as a host or emitter in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), particularly in blue-emitting devices, where its rigid structure helps maintain efficient luminescence. Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modification via cross-coupling reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of more complex conjugated systems for optoelectronic applications.
