Silver permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgMnO₄. This salt is a purple crystal adopting a monoclinic crystal system.^[1] It decomposes when heated or mixed with water, and heating to high temperature may lead to explosion. The compound is used in gas masks.^{[citation needed]}

Production

It can be produced through the reaction of silver nitrate and potassium permanganate:^[2]

AgNO₃ + KMnO₄ → AgMnO₄ + KNO₃
