This chemical is primarily used in the field of materials science, particularly in the development of organic semiconductors. Its structure allows it to facilitate electron transport, making it valuable in the creation of electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), where it acts as a linker molecule to form porous structures with potential applications in gas storage, separation, and catalysis. Its ability to self-assemble into ordered structures also makes it useful in nanotechnology for creating supramolecular assemblies and nanostructured materials.
