Used as an intermediate in organic semiconductor synthesis, particularly in the development of conjugated polymers for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its brominated thiophene core enables cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the construction of complex π-conjugated systems. The long tetradecyl chain improves solubility in organic solvents, aiding solution-processing for thin-film device fabrication. Also explored in the synthesis of donor-acceptor type copolymers to tune electronic properties and enhance charge carrier mobility.
