Potassium dimanganate(III), K₆Mn₂O₆, is a manganese(III) compound. Unlike lithium and sodium manganites, MMnO₂, which are best described as mixed oxides, potassium dimanganite contains discrete Mn₂O⁶⁻
₆ anions in the solid state.^[2] It rapidly hydrolyzes in air.^[1]

K₆Mn₂O₆ is prepared as ruby-red crystals by the reaction of excess potassium oxide with manganese(II) oxide in a sealed nickel bomb at 610 °C for ten days.^[1] The Mn₂O⁶⁻
₆ anion has an Al₂Cl₆-type structure.^[1][2]
