Used in organic electronics as a semiconductor material due to its conjugated structure and electron-accepting properties. It serves as a key component in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and has been explored in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) for improving charge transport efficiency. Its thermal stability and ability to form thin films make it suitable for use in vapor-deposited layers in optoelectronic devices. Additionally, it acts as a building block in synthesizing more complex dyes and fluorescent probes for research applications.
