4,7-Dibromo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole is a white to Light yellow to Light orange crystalline powder and needs to be stored in an inert gas. As an organic intermediate, it is widely used in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical production
4,7-Dibromo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole is the building block or monomer for the synthesis of light-emitting diodes and conducting polymers for organic electronics. It is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of poly[N-9'-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT) and poly[2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl[4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl]] (PCPDTBT).
