Used as an intermediate in organic semiconductor materials, particularly in the production of blue-emitting OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes). Its bromine functionality allows for further coupling reactions, making it valuable in synthesizing conjugated compounds for electronic devices. Also employed in the development of host materials in phosphorescent OLEDs due to its high triplet energy and good thermal stability. Commonly found in research related to organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) and photovoltaic cells.
