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:
- by the reduction of potassium permanganate with excess potassium sulfite;[1][2]
- MnO−4 + SO2−3 + H2O → MnO3−4 + SO2−4 + 2 H+
- by disproportionation when manganese dioxide is dissolved in a concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide;[1]
- 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
