Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance organic semiconductors for optoelectronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-conjugation and promotes strong intermolecular stacking, improving charge carrier mobility. Also employed in the development of fluorescent dyes and sensors due to its extended aromatic system and ability to undergo functionalization for tuning optical properties. Shows promise in research on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an electron-transport material when modified with appropriate substituents.
