Used in organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices due to its extended π-conjugated structure and electron-transport properties. Shows promise in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an emissive or charge-transport layer component. Also employed as a building block in the synthesis of boron-doped polycyclic aromatic compounds for use in fluorescent sensors and bioimaging probes. Its bromo-thienyl group enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in materials chemistry for designing novel conjugated systems.
