1,4-Benzenedithiol is commonly employed as a bifunctional linker in surface chemistry for creating self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold and other metals. It serves as a key precursor in synthesizing conductive polymers and coordination complexes due to its dual thiol groups. Researchers also use it in nanomaterial synthesis, particularly for stabilizing metal nanoparticles and quantum dots. Additionally, it finds applications in organic electronics and photovoltaics as a molecular bridge.
