Used as a catalyst in carbon monoxide-releasing reactions for controlled delivery in chemical synthesis and biological studies. Effective in promoting CO transfer in organic transformations, such as carbonylation reactions, under mild conditions. Its fluorinated porphyrin ring enhances thermal stability and electron-withdrawing properties, improving catalytic efficiency. Also investigated for potential applications in medicinal chemistry as a CO-releasing molecule (CORM) to deliver carbon monoxide to cells for anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. Soluble in nonpolar organic solvents, making it suitable for homogeneous catalysis.
