Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystal materials for display technologies. It serves as a building block in organic semiconductors and optoelectronic devices due to its stable biphenyl structure and functional group compatibility. Commonly employed in Suzuki coupling reactions to construct complex biaryl systems in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Also utilized in the development of novel organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs) owing to its electron-transport properties and structural rigidity.
