Used primarily in specialized chemical synthesis and research, this compound serves as a fluorinating agent in organic and inorganic reactions, facilitating the introduction of fluorine atoms into target molecules. It is also explored in the preparation of other manganese-based fluorides and in materials science for developing functional inorganic compounds. Due to its strong oxidizing and fluorinating properties, it finds niche use in the development of electroactive materials and catalysts. Handling requires caution due to its reactivity and potential decomposition under moisture.
