Manganese violet is the inorganic compound called ammonium manganese(III) pyrophosphate. The formula indicates that pyrophosphate (P2O74-), ammonium (NH4+), and manganese(IIII) comprise this solid. It is prepared by heating a mixture of Mn2O3, 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]
