Used in organic electronics due to its extended π-conjugated structure, enabling applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Acts as a building block for conjugated polymers and molecular wires, facilitating electron transport in nanoscale devices. Its rigid, linear structure supports the development of fluorescent sensors and optoelectronic materials with high thermal and chemical stability. Also employed in click chemistry for constructing complex molecular architectures in materials science research.
