Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic semiconductors and coordination polymers. Its rigid aromatic structure and electron-deficient nature make it suitable for constructing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable electronic properties. Also employed in the development of luminescent materials and as a ligand in catalytic systems, particularly in reactions involving transition metals. Its nitrile groups allow for further functionalization, enabling tailored modifications for specific optoelectronic applications.
