Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its rigid, conjugated structure enhances charge transport properties, making it valuable in the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Also employed in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and sensors due to its strong photoluminescence. Its bromo functional group allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems for advanced material science applications.
