Physical Properties

Rubidium permanganate is not very soluble in water, the solubility increases with increasing temperature. At 7 ° C, 1 liter of the saturated solution contains 6.03 g, at 19 ° C 10.6 g and at 60 ° C 46.8 g. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system in the space group Pnma (space group no. 62) with the lattice parameters a = 954.1  pm , b = 573.9 pm and c = 763.6 pm. In the unit cell contains four formula units . The crystals are isomorphic to cesium permanganate , ammonium permanganate and potassium permanganate . Template: room group / 62

Chemical properties

Like potassium permanganate, rubidium permanganate decomposes in two stages, with rubidium manganate (VI) being formed as an intermediate . Manganese (IV) oxide , rubidium oxide and elemental oxygen are formed as further decomposition products . The decomposition takes place between 200 and 300 ° C. The mass loss due to the evolution of oxygen is 8.0%.

use

In qualitative analysis , rubidium permanganate is used as a reagent for the detection of perchlorate ions. It is produced as an intermediate from rubidium nitrate and potassium permanganate and, with the presence of perchlorate ions, precipitates as RbClO 4 · RbMnO 4  mixed crystal.
