Used in organic electronics as a semiconductor material, particularly in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its high charge carrier mobility and stability. Its rigid, planar structure facilitates strong π-π stacking, enhancing electronic coupling between molecules. Also investigated as a building block in conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The sulfur-containing heterocycle contributes to improved film morphology and environmental stability. Additionally, serves as a fluorescent probe in research settings owing to its distinct emission properties in solid and solution states.
