Used in organic electronics due to its strong electron-accepting properties. Commonly applied as a building block in the synthesis of conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and field-effect transistors (OFETs). Its rigid, planar structure enhances π-π stacking, improving charge transport in thin-film devices. Also explored in fluorescent sensors and as a component in donor-acceptor type materials for near-infrared (NIR) emitters.
