Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystal materials, particularly in the development of advanced organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices. Its rigid terphenyl backbone and halogen substituents enhance molecular anisotropy and facilitate charge transport, making it valuable in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Also employed in the preparation of nonlinear optical materials due to its polarizable aromatic system. Its high thermal stability and defined molecular geometry support use in high-performance liquid crystal formulations for display technologies.
