Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of conjugated polymers for organic electronics such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Its brominated structure allows for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex π-conjugated systems. Also employed in the development of high-performance semiconducting materials due to its rigid, planar backbone and strong intermolecular interactions, which facilitate charge transport.
