Used in organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices due to its extended aromatic structure and electron-accepting properties. Commonly employed as a building block in the synthesis of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its bromine functionality allows for further modification via cross-coupling reactions, enabling tailored electronic properties. Also investigated as a fluorescent probe in materials science for studying charge transport and energy transfer in conjugated systems.
