Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance polymers and specialty resins. Its rigid aromatic structure and nitro groups make it valuable in creating heat-resistant and mechanically strong materials, often applied in aerospace, electronics, and advanced coatings. It is also employed in the development of liquid crystalline compounds and photoactive materials due to its ability to undergo specific photochemical reactions. Additionally, its structural features are utilized in research settings for designing novel dielectric and optical materials.
