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:
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]
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]
