Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, especially in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its brominated structure allows for coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. Also employed in the production of functional organic semiconductors and ligands for catalysts due to its rigid, planar framework and electron-transport properties. Its derivatives show potential in optoelectronic applications, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and sensors.
