Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a building block for materials in OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) due to its favorable thermal stability and ability to support electron transport. Its rigid, planar structure enhances conjugation in larger aromatic systems, making it valuable in the synthesis of semiconducting polymers and small molecules for display and lighting technologies. It is also employed in research as a structural motif to improve the efficiency and stability of organic photovoltaics and transistors.
