Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a key building block in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic solar cells (OPVs). Its structure supports strong light absorption and efficient charge transport, making it valuable in donor-acceptor type polymers. It enhances the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic devices by promoting broad absorption in the visible to near-infrared range. Additionally, it is employed in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and sensors due to its semiconducting properties. The bromine functional groups allow for further chemical modification via cross-coupling reactions, enabling tailored tuning of electronic properties.
