Used as an electron-accepting building block in organic semiconductors, particularly in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and small molecules for organic solar cells. The dodecyloxy substituents enhance solubility in organic solvents, facilitating solution processing techniques such as printing or coating of thin films. Its structure supports strong intermolecular interactions and enhances charge transport, making it valuable in high-performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The compound’s bromine sites allow for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, enabling incorporation into larger π-conjugated systems. It is also employed in the development of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and near-infrared (NIR) dyes due to its extended conjugation and tunable electronic properties. Additionally, it is used to study energy and electron transfer properties in complex material systems.
