Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated materials for optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its rigid, extended aromatic structure enhances electron delocalization, making it valuable in the design of organic semiconductors. Also employed in the synthesis of molecular wires and other nano-scale electronic components due to its ability to facilitate electron transport across aromatic systems. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the development of liquid crystals and fluorescent probes for biochemical imaging.
