Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance polymers and optoelectronic materials. Its brominated aromatic structure makes it suitable for cross-coupling reactions, particularly in the fabrication of organic semiconductors and liquid crystal compounds. Commonly employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and thin-film transistors due to its thermal stability and ability to form conjugated systems. Also finds use in photoresists and as a building block in supramolecular chemistry for designing functional organic frameworks.
