IUPAC name potassium manganate(V)
potassium tetraoxidomanganate(3−)
Properties
Chemical formula K3MnO4
Molar mass 236.23 g mol−1

Other anions Potassium manganate
Potassium permanganate
Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)

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 + 3 OH → MnO3−4 + MnO(OH) + H2O

The hypomanganate anion is unstable with respect to disproportionation in all but the most alkaline of solutions.

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