Used in organic electronics as a building block for conjugated polymers and small molecules in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its bromine functionality allows for further cross-coupling reactions, enabling the synthesis of complex π-conjugated systems. Enhances charge carrier mobility and light absorption when incorporated into donor-acceptor materials. Also employed in the development of organic semiconductors due to the stability and planarity of the terthiophene backbone.
