Used in organic semiconductor materials due to its extended aromatic structure, enabling applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). The bromine atom allows for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated organic compounds for optoelectronic devices. Also explored in photovoltaic materials for dye-sensitized solar cells owing to its ability to facilitate charge transfer and light absorption in the visible range.
