Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, particularly in the development of high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-conjugation and promotes strong intermolecular interactions, improving charge carrier mobility in thin-film transistors. Also employed in the design of fluorescent dyes and sensors due to its extended aromatic system and tunable electronic properties. Its derivatives show promise in optoelectronic devices requiring efficient electron delocalization and thermal stability.
