Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other complex organic molecules. It serves as a building block in the development of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials, which are essential for applications in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaic devices. Additionally, it is employed in research for studying charge transport properties in organic materials, aiding in the design of more efficient electronic components. Its role in the synthesis of liquid crystals also makes it valuable for display technologies.
