Used as a building block in organic electronics, particularly in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for semiconductor materials. Its rigid aromatic structure enhances charge carrier mobility in thin-film transistors. Also employed in the development of fluorescent sensors due to its photostable emission properties. Acts as a precursor for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with extended π-conjugation, useful in optoelectronic devices. Additionally, applied in dye-sensitized solar cells to improve light absorption and energy conversion efficiency.
