Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its rigid, conjugated structure enhances charge transport properties, making it suitable for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The bromine functional groups allow for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of larger π-conjugated systems. Also employed in the development of host materials for phosphorescent OLEDs due to its high triplet energy and thermal stability. Its structural symmetry and steric hindrance from methyl groups help suppress aggregation and improve device efficiency.
