Used in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices. Its aromatic structure with a sulfur heteroatom enhances electron-transport properties, making it valuable in the design of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Also serves as a building block in pharmaceutical research for constructing complex heterocyclic systems with potential biological activity.
