Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its electron-deficient aromatic structure, making it suitable for applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its bromine functionality allows for further chemical modification via cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of conjugated polymers and small molecules for optoelectronic devices. Also explored as a building block in the development of fluorescent probes and sensors owing to its rigid, planar framework and tunable electronic properties.
