Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, particularly in the development of high-performance conjugated polymers for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its bulky triisopropylsilyl groups enhance solubility and aid in controlling molecular packing, which improves thin-film morphology and charge carrier mobility. The bromine functionalities allow for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, enabling precise extension of π-conjugated systems in advanced electronic materials.
