Used in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and organic semiconductors due to its diyne functionality, enabling polymerization reactions that form conductive or photoactive materials. Commonly employed in research for developing organic electronic devices such as field-effect transistors and sensors. Its long aliphatic chain with terminal bromine allows for controlled coupling reactions, making it valuable in surface patterning and molecular electronics. Also utilized in the preparation of carbon-rich nanostructures through on-surface synthesis under ultra-high vacuum conditions.
