Used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as a key intermediate for synthesizing emissive or charge-transport materials. Its extended aromatic structure enhances electron delocalization, improving device efficiency. Also employed in research for developing blue-emitting materials due to its high photoluminescence quantum yield. Serves as a building block in Suzuki and other palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to create complex organic semiconductors. Investigated for use in photovoltaic cells and field-effect transistors owing to its favorable charge-carrier mobility and thermal stability.
