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
2
O4−
7
). It is prepared by heating a mixture of manganese(III) oxide (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]

Spectra[]

IR-spectra, reflectance, and fluorescence spectra can be found at ColourLex.[3]

Use[]

Manganese violet is used in eye liner pencils, eye shadow, lipstick, nail enamel, and oil paint.[4]
