This chemical is primarily used in the development of advanced materials, particularly in the field of organic electronics. It serves as a key building block in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, which are essential components in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Its structure allows for efficient charge transport, making it valuable in enhancing the performance of these devices. Additionally, it is utilized in the creation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), where its rigid and planar structure contributes to the stability and porosity of the framework, enabling applications in gas storage, separation, and catalysis. Its ability to form well-defined crystalline structures also makes it useful in the study of molecular self-assembly and crystal engineering.
