Bluish‐green crystals of the oxomanganate(V) KSrMnO 4 were synthesized under hydroflux conditions with KOH at about 200 °C starting from KMnO 4 and Sr(NO 3 ) 2 . The product formation depends on the hydroxide concentration and the strontium‐manganese ratio of the starting materials. By changing these parameters, also other reaction products, such as α ‐SrMnO 3 and Sr 5 [MnO 4 ] 3 OH, are obtained. KSrMnO 4 crystallizes in the non‐centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 with a = 743.26(7) pm, b = 575.72(6) pm and c = 987.2(1) pm. The crystal structure consists of isolated [MnO 4 ] 3– tetrahedra surrounded by Sr 2+ and K + cations. The group‐subgroup relation to KBaMnO 4 and to the aristotype α‐K 2 SO 4 are discussed. UV/Vis spectra and magnetic data agree with the oxidation state +V of manganese. KSrMnO 4 is paramagnetic, but orders as an antiferromagnet below 4.6(1) K. Thermal analysis of KSrMnO 4 revealed the decomposition at about 950 °C to α‐SrMnO 3 .
