Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Serves as a building block in the preparation of conjugated materials for optoelectronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and organic transistors. The bromine groups allow further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Sonogashira couplings, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems and extended conjugated structures. Also employed in the development of liquid crystals and nonlinear optical materials due to its rigid, planar structure and electronic properties.
