Potassium hypomanganate, K3MnO4, also known as potassium manganate(V), is a bright blue salt and a rare example of a manganese(V) compound. It is formed:

MnO4 + SO2−3 + H2O → MnO3−4 + SO2−4 + 2 H+
2 MnO2−4 + H2O2 + 2 OH2 MnO3−4 + O2 + 2 H2O
  • by the reduction of potassium manganate with mandelate in 3–10 M potassium hydroxide solution;[1]
2 MnO2−4 + C8H7O3 + 2 OH2 MnO3−4 + C8H5O3 + 2 H2O
2 MnO2 + 3 OH → MnO3−4 + MnO(OH) + H2O

The hypomanganate anion is unstable with respect to disproportionation in all but the most alkaline of solutions:[2][3] estimated electrode potentials at pH 14 are[5][6][7]

MnO2−4 + e MnO3−4   E = +0.27 V
MnO3−4 + e + 4 H2O MnO2 + 6 OH   E = +0.96 V

The disproportionation is believed to pass through a protonated intermediate,[7] with the acid dissociation constant for the reaction HMnO2−4  MnO3−4 + H+ being estimated as pKa = 13.7 ± 0.2.[8] However, K3MnO4 has been cocrystallized with Ca2Cl(PO4), allowing the study of the UV–visible spectrum of the hypomanganate ion.[2][9]
