Used as a building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), enabling the construction of highly conjugated, porous materials for applications in organic electronics, sensing, and catalysis. Its rigid, planar structure promotes strong π-π stacking, enhancing charge transport in thin-film devices. Also employed in the design of supramolecular architectures due to its ability to direct self-assembly through hydrogen bonding and aromatic interactions. Shows potential in photovoltaic systems as a component for light-harvesting structures owing to its extended aromatic core and tunable electronic properties.
