Used in organic electronics as a building block for conjugated polymers and small molecules in organic semiconductors. Commonly applied in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs) due to its extended π-conjugation and strong intermolecular interactions. The bromine substituents allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it a versatile intermediate in synthesizing complex organic electronic materials. Also explored in the fabrication of high-performance thin-film transistors and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
