Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated materials for optoelectronic applications. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of nonlinear optical materials due to its rigid, conjugated structure and ability to stabilize charge transfer states. Also employed in the development of liquid crystals and organic semiconductors, where its tetraphenyl-substituted framework enhances thermal stability and π-π stacking interactions. Additionally, it finds use in pharmaceutical research as a scaffold for constructing complex molecular architectures.
