Used in organic electronics due to its electron-deficient aromatic structure, making it suitable as a building block in organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Commonly applied in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and as a component in donor-acceptor type polymers for solar cells. Its planar, rigid framework enhances π-π stacking, improving charge carrier mobility. Also investigated in fluorescent sensors and bioimaging probes due to tunable emission properties. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry as a scaffold for kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents.
