Used as a catalyst in oxidation reactions, particularly in biomimetic systems that mimic cytochrome P450 enzymes. It facilitates the selective oxidation of organic substrates using oxygen or peroxides, making it valuable in synthetic chemistry for drug development and fine chemical production. Also investigated in photodynamic therapy due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species under light exposure. Applied in electrochemical sensors for detecting biological molecules and environmental pollutants because of its redox-active metal center and strong electron-transfer properties. Its structural design allows integration into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and supramolecular assemblies for use in advanced materials and catalytic systems.
