Rubidium permanganate is the permanganate salt of rubidium, with the chemical formula RbMnO
4.

Preparation

Rubidium permanganate can be formed by the reaction of potassium permanganate and rubidium chloride:[4][5]

RbCl + KMnO4 → KCl + RbMnO4 ↓

Properties

Physical

Rubidium permanganate is soluble in water with a solubility of 6.03 g/L at 7 °C,[3] 10.6 g/L at 19 °C,[2] and 46.8 g/L at 60 °C.[6] Its crystal structure is orthorhombic,[1] the same as caesium permanganate, ammonium permanganate and potassium permanganate.

Chemical

Similar to potassium permanganate, the two-step decomposition of rubidium permanganate leads to the formation of rubidium manganate intermediates. It breaks down into manganese dioxide, rubidium oxide and oxygen.[4] The decomposition temperature is between 200 and 300 °C.[7] Drift-away oxygen caused an 8% mass loss in the product.[7]

10RbMnO4 → 3Rb2MnO4 + 7MnO2 + 2Rb2O + 6O2 ↑
2Rb2MnO4 → 2MnO2 + 2Rb2O + O2 ↑

Total reaction:

4RbMnO4 → 4MnO2 + 2Rb2O + 3O2 ↑

Uses

In qualitative analysis, rubidium permanganate is used as a reagent to detect perchlorate ions. It is produced as an intermediate from rubidium nitrate and potassium permanganate and precipitates with existing perchlorate ions as RbClO4·RbMnO4 mixed crystal.[8]
