Used as a precursor in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, which are key building blocks for conductive organic materials and molecular electronics. It serves in the development of organic semiconductors and charge-transfer complexes due to its electron-donor properties. Also employed in the synthesis of radical cations and redox-active molecules for use in electroactive materials and sensors. Its sulfur-rich structure makes it valuable in coordination chemistry with metal ions, supporting the design of novel functional materials.
