Used primarily in organic semiconductor research, this compound serves as a building block for synthesizing conjugated molecules with enhanced charge transport properties. Its rigid, planar structure and electron-deficient core make it suitable for developing p-type organic semiconductors in thin-film transistors and optoelectronic devices. Fluorination improves oxidative stability and influences molecular packing, which can lead to higher device performance and air stability in organic electronics. It is also explored in the design of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic materials due to its tunable electronic properties.
