Used in organic synthesis as a building block for liquid crystal materials, particularly in the production of advanced display technologies. Its rigid aromatic structure and fluorine substituents contribute to thermal stability and favorable dielectric properties. Commonly employed in the development of reactive mesogens for polymer-stabilized liquid crystal systems. Also investigated as a precursor in pharmaceutical intermediates where fluorinated biphenyl motifs are required. Shows utility in materials science for creating conjugated polymers with enhanced electronic properties.
