Used in the development of organic semiconductors, particularly in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its conjugated structure enhances charge carrier mobility, making it suitable for flexible electronics and solar cells. Also employed in sensors due to its ability to interact with various analytes, improving detection sensitivity. In research, it serves as a building block for synthesizing more complex conjugated polymers with tailored electronic properties.
