A persulfate (sometimes known as peroxysulfate or peroxodisulfate)
[1] is a compound containing the
anions SO2−
5 or S
2O2−
8.
[2] The anion SO2−
5 contains one
peroxide group per sulfur center, whereas in S
2O2−
8, the peroxide group bridges the sulfur atoms. In both cases, sulfur adopts the normal tetrahedral geometry typical for the S(VI) oxidation state. These salts are strong oxidizers.
