Used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated materials for optoelectronic devices. It serves as a building block in the fabrication of organic semiconductors and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its extended π-conjugation and thermal stability. Its rigid molecular structure supports efficient charge transport, making it valuable in research on organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). Also employed in the synthesis of novel polymers and liquid crystals with tailored electronic properties.
