Used as a highly effective catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions due to its strong Lewis acidity and thermal stability. Its triflimide anion contributes to excellent solubility in nonpolar and polar aprotic solvents, making it suitable for homogeneous catalysis. Also employed in electrochemical applications, such as in the development of advanced electrolytes for batteries, where it enhances ionic conductivity and stability. Additionally, it serves as a dopant in luminescent materials and in the preparation of ionic liquids for green chemistry processes.
