Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. It plays a significant role in the development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaic cells due to its ability to enhance charge transport properties. Additionally, it is utilized in research for creating fluorescent dyes and sensors, particularly in detecting environmental pollutants. Its brominated structure makes it a valuable building block in organic synthesis for constructing complex aromatic compounds.
