Used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as a key intermediate for synthesizing emissive or charge-transport materials. Its extended aromatic structure supports efficient π-conjugation, enhancing electron delocalization and luminescence properties. Commonly employed in the development of blue emitters due to its high triplet energy and thermal stability. Also utilized in research settings for fabricating host materials in phosphorescent OLEDs. Serves as a building block in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form complex organic semiconductors.
