Used in organic electronics, particularly as a building block for conjugated polymers in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-π stacking, improving charge carrier mobility. Also employed in the synthesis of donor-acceptor copolymers to tune bandgap and optimize light absorption for solar cell applications. Shows promise in developing high-performance, solution-processable semiconducting materials for flexible electronics.
