Used in organic electronics as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance semiconductor materials for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-π stacking, improving charge carrier mobility. Also employed in the development of blue-emitting materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its favorable luminescent properties. Additionally, serves as a building block in cross-coupling reactions for creating complex polyaromatic systems used in photovoltaic devices.
