Used primarily as a building block in organic semiconductor materials, especially in the synthesis of anthracene-based conjugated polymers and small molecules for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its bromine functional groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, enabling precise molecular engineering of π-conjugated systems. Also employed in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and photoactive compounds due to anthracene’s strong luminescent properties. Its rigid planar structure supports efficient charge transport in thin-film electronic devices.
