Used in organic electronics as a semiconductor material in thin-film transistors and photovoltaic devices. Its iodinated structure enhances intermolecular interactions, improving charge carrier mobility. Commonly employed in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its stability and efficient π-π stacking. Also investigated as a building block for conjugated polymers in solar cells, where it contributes to broad light absorption and efficient exciton dissociation.
