Used as a powerful oxidizing agent in organic synthesis, particularly in radical reactions. Commonly employed to initiate polymerization processes, including the production of conductive polymers and functionalized materials. Effective in electrochemical applications for surface modification of electrodes. Also utilized in environmental chemistry for the degradation of organic pollutants through advanced oxidation processes. Its solubility in organic solvents makes it suitable for reactions in non-aqueous media where traditional inorganic persulfates are less effective.
