This compound is primarily utilized in the development of organic semiconductors, particularly in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its unique structure, featuring bromothiophene and benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione units, contributes to efficient charge transport and light absorption, making it suitable for use in active layers of solar cells. Additionally, its solubility in organic solvents due to the 2-butyloctyl side chains allows for easy processing via solution-based techniques, such as spin-coating or inkjet printing. This material is also explored in the design of high-performance electronic devices, where its stability and electronic properties are advantageous.
