Used primarily in organic electronics, especially in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs), due to its ability to act as a host material or sensitizer in emissive layers. Its extended aromatic structure enhances charge transport and improves device efficiency. Also employed in research as a fluorescent probe and in the synthesis of more complex polycyclic aromatic compounds for optoelectronic applications.
