Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials. Its extended aromatic system enhances charge transport properties, making it suitable for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Also employed in the development of dyes and fluorescent probes due to its strong light-emitting characteristics. Its structural rigidity and electron-donating ability improve performance in photovoltaic devices when incorporated into donor materials.
