Used in organic electronics, particularly in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Acts as a key intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and small molecules, enhancing charge transport properties. Applied in the fabrication of sensors for detecting specific analytes due to its fluorescence and binding capabilities. Also utilized in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, to create complex organic structures for advanced materials.
