Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a p-type semiconductor in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its extended conjugated system and alkyl side chains enhance charge carrier mobility and improve solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution-based processing for thin-film device fabrication. It is also employed in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) as a donor material due to its strong light absorption and favorable energy levels for exciton dissociation. Additionally, its thermal stability and film-forming properties make it suitable for flexible and printable electronic applications.
