Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic electronics. It plays a key role in the development of organic semiconductors used in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The bromine functionality allows for coupling reactions, such as Stille or Suzuki coupling, enabling the construction of complex polymer chains. The decyl chain improves solubility in organic solvents, which enhances processability during device fabrication. Its thiophene core contributes to electron delocalization, improving charge transport properties in the final material. Commonly employed in research settings to tune the electronic and optical properties of π-conjugated systems.
