Manganese violet

Manganese violet is the common name for ammonium manganese(III) pyrophosphate, an inorganic compound composed of ammonium (NH+
4), manganese in the +3 oxidation state, and the pyrophosphate anion (P
2O4−
7). It is prepared by heating a mixture of manganese(III) oxide (Mn
2O
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]
