Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving C–H activation and cross-coupling transformations. Its perfluorinated aryl groups enhance stability and electron-withdrawing properties, improving catalytic efficiency in oxidative addition steps. Also employed in photodynamic therapy research due to strong absorption in the visible region and ability to generate singlet oxygen. Serves as a building block for metal-organic frameworks and supramolecular systems where thermal and chemical robustness are required. Shows potential in electrochemical applications, including sensors and fuel cell catalysts, benefiting from the redox-active porphyrin ligand and platinum center.
