Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of polycyclic aromatic compounds for advanced materials. Shows potential in the fabrication of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices due to its rigid, planar structure and extended π-conjugation. Also explored in the design of novel ligands for catalysis and in pharmaceutical research for building complex heterocyclic frameworks. Its unique fused ring system contributes to thermal stability and electronic properties useful in material science applications.
