Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and advanced materials for electronic devices. It plays a key role in the development of OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) and OFETs (organic field-effect transistors) due to its ability to form stable, conjugated structures with good charge transport properties. Its halogen substituents allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex aromatic systems for optoelectronic applications. Also explored in the design of high-performance liquid crystals and photovoltaic materials.
