Fluorine is a strong and relatively inert element, so breaking C-F bonds can be challenging. Iridium porphyrins, as well as other transition metal complexes, can facilitate the activation of C-F bonds through processes such as oxidative addition. The iridium center interacts with the fluorine atom in the C-F bond, weakening the bond and making it more susceptible to cleavage.
