Used in organic electronics as a semiconductor material in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its good charge carrier mobility and stability. It serves as a building block for conjugated polymers and small molecules in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Its planar structure enhances π-π stacking, improving device performance. Also employed in sensor applications for detecting volatile organic compounds owing to changes in electrical conductivity upon exposure.
