  • Synthesis and Properties of Simple and Complex Salts Of
    PhD Theses SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF SIMPLE AND COMPLEX SALTS OF PERMANGANIC ACID Kótai László Institute of Materials and Environmental Chemistry Chemical Research Center, Hungarian Academy of Sciences 2006 1 1. INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Widespread applicapibility and the increased quality requirements of permanganate salts require development of new synthetic methods. The transition metal permanganates are precursors of numerous catalytically active metal-manganese oxide composites. Therefore, the exact kowledge of their structure, reactivity and the thermal decomposition characteristics of permanganate compounds is essenial to plan the properties of the decomposition products. The main target of this work was the development of new synthetic methods to prepare simple and complex salts of permanganic acid, including the preparation and the study of ammonium permanganate and some ammine-complex permanganates of transition metals such as Ag, Cu, Ni, Cd, Zn. 2. ANALYTICAL METHODS Classical inorganic analytical chemistry, IR and Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, ESR, XRD, GC-MS, single crystal X-ray and powder neutron diffractometry, TG-gas- titrimetry, TG-MS and DSC methods were used. 3. NEW RESULTS 3.1. SYNTHESES 3.1.1. Syntheses based on manganese heptoxide A method has been developed to prepare Ba, Mg, Ca, Ni, Zn, Cd, Cu(II), Al, Fe(III), Y, Ce(IV), Sm, Pr and Gd-permanganates by means of the reaction of KMnO4 with sulfuric acid monohydrate, followed by extraction of the Mn2O7 with CCl4 and the reaction of the Mn2O7 in CCl4 with catalytic amount of water and the oxide, hydroxide and carbonate of the appropriate metal. 3.1.2. Syntheses based on the metathesis reaction of KMnO4 Reaction of warm saturated solutions of NH4Cl and potassium permangnate provided Kx(NH4)1-xMnO4 (x=0.2-0.4) solid solutions instead of NH4MnO4 as it has been declared previously.
