Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, particularly in the development of non-fullerene acceptors for high-efficiency organic solar cells. Its extended π-conjugated structure enables strong light absorption and efficient electron transport, making it suitable for use in photovoltaic devices. The alkyl side chains enhance solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-processing techniques like spin-coating or inkjet printing for thin-film fabrication. Also explored in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its charge carrier mobility and thermal stability.
