Used as a key intermediate in organic semiconductors, particularly in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its brominated structure allows for efficient cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex π-conjugated systems. Also employed in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and sensors due to its electron-transport properties and structural stability in aromatic frameworks.
