Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic electronics. Its structure supports charge transport, making it suitable for applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The dodecyl chain enhances solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-based processing techniques like spin coating or inkjet printing. The bromine groups allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, such as Stille or Suzuki coupling, enabling the construction of complex polymer backbones with tailored electronic properties. Also explored in the development of organic semiconductors for flexible electronics and wearable devices.
