Used primarily in the field of organic electronics, this compound serves as a key building block for organic conductors and superconductors. Its strong electron-donating properties make it ideal for use in charge-transfer salts, especially when combined with electron acceptors like fullerenes or halogens. It is widely applied in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and molecular electronics due to its ability to form highly conductive and stable radical cation salts. Additionally, it plays a role in research on organic metals and low-dimensional electronic systems, where high charge mobility and molecular stacking are critical. Its derivatives are also explored in electrochemical applications and as components in nonlinear optical materials.
