Used in organic electronics as a building block for semiconductor materials, particularly in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its rigid, planar structure enhances charge carrier mobility and thermal stability. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to construct complex conjugated systems for optoelectronic applications. Also utilized in research settings to design host materials in phosphorescent OLEDs due to its favorable energy level alignment and bromine handle for further functionalization.
