Persulfate



The term persulfate refers to ions or compounds with more oxygen than normal sulfates.

These do not have sulfur in a different oxidation state; rather, they contain peroxide units, where two oxygens take the place of one in a normal sulfate; the oxygen atoms are in oxidation state −1.

The main forms are peroxomonosulfates and peroxodisulfates.

Ions

  • Peroxomonosulfate (or Peroxymonosulfate) ion, SO52−
  • Peroxodisulfate (or Peroxydisulfate) ion, S2O82−

Acids
