Used as an n-type organic semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), this compound exhibits high electron mobility and excellent ambient stability due to its strong π-π stacking and bromine-induced molecular ordering. It is particularly effective in flexible electronics and printed circuits where stable performance under ambient conditions is required. Its lipophilic side chains enhance solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-based processing techniques such as spin coating or inkjet printing. Also employed in organic photovoltaics and sensors for detecting electron-deficient analytes.
