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]
