Used as a building block in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, it plays a crucial role in the development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaic cells. Its structure facilitates efficient charge transport, making it valuable in electronic devices. Additionally, it is employed in the creation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications in gas storage, separation, and catalysis. Its ability to form stable complexes with metals also makes it useful in coordination chemistry and material science research.
