Used primarily as a specialty intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated polymers and advanced materials. Its diyne structure enables participation in cycloaddition and polymerization reactions, making it valuable in developing conductive or semiconductive organic compounds. It also serves in research settings for constructing complex molecular architectures, including carbon-rich frameworks and nanostructured materials. Due to its reactivity, it is explored in materials science for creating novel carbon-based networks with potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics.
