Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of advanced organic semiconductors and liquid crystal materials. Its extended aromatic structure makes it suitable for incorporation into pi-conjugated systems, enhancing charge transport properties in electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The bromine functionality allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, enabling precise molecular engineering for tailored optoelectronic performance. Also employed in the synthesis of specialty polymers and supramolecular architectures where rigid, rod-like building blocks are required.
