Used primarily in organic electronics, this compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced materials for OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes). Its rigid aromatic structure and electron-deficient pyrimidine core enhance charge transport properties, making it valuable in the development of emissive and host layers in display technologies. It is also employed in research focused on pharmaceutical intermediates due to its halogenated aryl groups, which allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. Additionally, its well-defined molecular geometry supports its use in supramolecular chemistry and as a building block in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for sensing or catalytic applications.
