Manganese violet is the inorganic compound called ammonium manganese(III) pyrophosphate. The formula indicates that pyrophosphate (P
2
O4−
7
), ammonium (NH+
4
), and manganese(III) make up this solid. It is prepared by heating a mixture of Mn
2
O
3
, diammonium phosphate and phosphoric acid. This material is a popular inorganic pigment.[1]

Chemical structure

Two polymorphs are known, referred to as the α- and β-forms, but in each case the structures are similar. The Mn(III) centres occupy distorted octahedral sites, being surrounded by six oxygens provided by the pyrophosphate ligands.[2]
