New Manganese Oxides by Hydrothermal Reaction of Permanganates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The mild hydrothermal decomposition of aqueous permanganate solutions has been found to lead to new layered manganes oxides. In the case of alkali permanganates, AMnO4, layered birnessite-type compounds are formed with the general formula - AxMnO2•nH2O. These compounds have R 3 m rhombohedral structures analogous to the layered disulfides. The water is reversibly lost on heating, and the compounds readily intercalate lithium ions in a reversible manner. In the case of the hydrothermal decomposition of tetramethylammonium permanganate in the presence of nickel, the new compound NiMnO3 is formed that has a novel structure. This compound also has interesting magnetic properties, being a paramagnet above 111K and a ferromagnetic below that temperature.
