Potassium hypomanganate is the inorganic compound with the formula K3MnO4. Also known as potassium manganate(V), this bright blue solid is a rare example of a salt with the hypomanganate or manganate(V) anion, where the manganese atom is in the +5 oxidation state.
Preparative routes
- by two-electron reduction of potassium permanganate with excess potassium sulfite;[2][3]
- MnO−4 + SO2−3 + H2O → MnO3−4 + SO2−4 + 2 H+
- by the single-electron reduction of potassium manganate with hydrogen peroxide in 10 M potassium hydroxide solution;[4]
- 2 MnO2−4 + H2O2 + 2 OH− → 2 MnO3−4 + O2 + 2 H2O
- by the single-electron reduction of potassium manganate with mandelate in 3–10 M potassium hydroxide solution;[1]
- 2 MnO2−4 + C8H7O−3 + 2 OH− → 2 MnO3−4 + C8H5O−3 + 2 H2O
- by disproportionation when manganese dioxide is dissolved in a concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide;[2]
- 2 MnO2 + 3 OH− → MnO3−4 + MnOOH + H2O
The compound is unstable due to the tendency of the hypomanganate anion to disproportionate in all but the most alkaline solutions.[2][3]
