Used primarily in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic electronics. Its hexyl side chains enhance solubility and processability in organic solvents, making it suitable for solution-based fabrication techniques like spin coating and inkjet printing. Commonly employed in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to its favorable charge transport properties. Also explored in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and sensors, where tunable electronic properties are required. The structural regularity and stability of its polymer derivatives contribute to improved device performance and longevity.
