Caesium permanganate is the permanganate salt of caesium, with the chemical formula CsMnO4.

Preparation

Caesium permanganate can be formed by the reaction of potassium permanganate and caesium nitrate:

CsNO3 + KMnO4 → KNO3 + CsMnO4 ↓

Properties

Physical

Caesium permanganate is soluble in water with a solubility of 0.97 g/L at 1 °C,[2] 2.3 g/L at 19 °C, and 12.5 g/L at 59 °C.[3] Its crystal structure is orthorhombic,[4] the same as rubidium permanganate, ammonium permanganate and potassium permanganate.

Chemical

Similar to potassium permanganate, the two-step decomposition of caesium permanganate leads to the formation of caesium manganate intermediates. It breaks down into manganese dioxide, caesium oxide and oxygen.[5] The decomposition temperature is between 200 and 300 °C.[6] Drift-away oxygen caused an 8% mass loss in the product.[6]

10CsMnO4 → 3Cs2MnO4 + 7MnO2 + 2Cs2O + 6O2 ↑
2Cs2MnO4 → 2MnO2 + 2Cs2O + O2 ↑

Total reaction:

4CsMnO4 → 4MnO2 + 2Cs2O + 3O2 ↑
