A permanganate (/pərˈmæŋɡəneɪt, pɜːr-/)[1] is a chemical compound with the manganate(VII) ion, MnO−
4, the conjugate base of permanganic acid. Because the manganese atom has a +7 oxidation state, the permanganate(VII) ion is a strong oxidising agent. The ion is a transition metal ion with a tetrahedral structure.[2] Permanganate solutions are purple in colour and are stable in neutral or slightly alkaline media. The exact chemical reaction depends on the carbon-containing reactants present and the oxidant used. For example, trichloroethane (C2H3Cl3) is oxidised by permanganate ions to form carbon dioxide (CO2), manganese dioxide (MnO2), hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl−).[3]

In an acidic solution, permanganate(VII) is reduced to the pale pink manganese(II) (Mn2+) with an oxidation state of +2.

4 + 5 e− → Mn2+ + 4 H2O
In a strongly basic or alkaline solution, permanganate(VII) is reduced to the green manganate ion, MnO2−
4 with an oxidation state of +6.
- MnO−
4 + e− → MnO2−

In a neutral solution, however, it gets reduced to the brown manganese dioxide MnO2 with an oxidation state of +4.
- 2 H2O + MnO−
4 + 3 e− → MnO2 + 4 OH−
