Used in organic electronics as a building block for conjugated polymers and small molecules in organic semiconductors. Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-electron delocalization, making it suitable for organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Also employed in the synthesis of donor-acceptor materials for light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its ability to fine-tune HOMO-LUMO energy levels. Soluble in common organic solvents, it facilitates solution-processing techniques like spin coating and inkjet printing. Shows potential in sensor applications where electronic properties change in response to specific analytes.
