Silver permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgMnO4. This salt is a purple crystal adopting a monoclinic crystal system.[1] It decomposes when heated or mixed with water, and heating to high temperature may lead to explosion.

Production

It can be produced through the reaction of silver nitrate and potassium permanganate:[2]

AgNO
3
+ KMnO
4
→ AgMnO

+ KNO
3

Uses

Silver permanganate is an oxidizing agent for carbon monoxide when deposited on metallic oxide carriers.[3] As a result, it was investigated for use in gas masks but was ultimately abandoned due to its expense and it being consumed in the reaction rather than acting as a catalyst.[4]

A caesium silver permanganate with the formula Cs3Ag[MnO4]4 has been characterized.[5]
