Used as a precursor in the synthesis of silane-based coupling agents, particularly in semiconductor and advanced polymer applications. Its fluorinated aryl groups enhance thermal and oxidative stability, making it valuable in the development of high-performance materials for electronics and specialty coatings. Commonly employed in surface modification processes to improve adhesion between inorganic substrates and organic matrices. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of fluorinated silicon-containing compounds with tailored reactivity and stability.
