Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance organic semiconductors, particularly in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its rigid, planar conjugated structure enhances charge carrier mobility and stability in thin-film devices. Commonly employed in donor-acceptor type polymers and small molecules to improve π-π stacking and electronic coupling. Also explored in flexible electronics and printed circuits due to its solution-processability and compatibility with low-temperature fabrication methods.
