Used in organic electronics due to its extended π-conjugated structure, enabling applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Acts as a building block in the synthesis of conjugated polymers and graphene-like nanomaterials. Employed in photovoltaic cells to enhance charge transport and light absorption. Also utilized in fluorescent sensors and probes for detecting aromatic compounds or metal ions due to its strong emission properties. Its rigid, planar core supports self-assembly in thin films for nanoscale electronic devices.
