Silver permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgMnO4.

Properties

Chemical

It decomposes when heated and heating to high temperature may lead to explosion.

Silver permanganate forms a coordination complex with pyridine, bispyridinesilver permanganate, a useful and stable oxidizing reagent for organic reactions. More precisely, it's obtained by adding pyridine to an aq. solution of potassium permanganate, followed by addition of an aq. sol. of silver nitrate.[3]

Physical

Silver permanganate is a purple of black solid, poorly soluble in water. It decomposes at around 160 °C, but some sources give temperatures as low as 100-135 °C.[4]

Availability

Silver permanganate is somewhat difficult to find, as most chemical suppliers will not sell it.

Preparation

It can be produced through the reaction of silver nitrate and potassium permanganate:[5] Sodium permanganate, if available, can also be used.[6]

AgNO3 + KMnO4 → AgMnO4 + KNO3

Due to its low solubility, silver permanganate will precipitate out of the solution.

Another possible route involves the addition of barium permanganate to silver perchlorate.

2 AgClO4 + Ba(MnO4)2 → 2 AgMnO4 + Ba(ClO4)2

Projects

  • Make ammonium permanganate
  • Preparation of other metal permanganates by double displacement with their chlorides

Handling

Safety

Silver permanganate is a strong oxidizer and it will stain badly.

Storage

Should not be stored for long.

Disposal

Can be reduced to silver metal and manganese dioxide using a reducing agent. The silver should be recycled, while manganese dioxide can either be recovered or dumped in the manganese waste.
