Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functional materials for optoelectronic devices. It serves as a building block in the creation of organic semiconductors and is employed in the synthesis of phosphorescent dopants for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex conjugated systems. Commonly utilized in research and development of organic electronics, including hole-transport materials and host compounds in OLEDs. Also finds use in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks and ligands for catalytic applications.
