Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, particularly in the development of high-performance thin-film transistors and flexible electronic devices. Its bromine and fluorine substituents enable selective cross-coupling reactions, allowing precise molecular engineering of conjugated polymers and small molecules for improved charge carrier mobility. Commonly employed in research settings to fabricate organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and as a building block in donor-acceptor type materials for optoelectronic applications.
