Potassium manganese hollandite, K1.6Mn8O16, was prepared by high-pressure synthesis and its structure and electromagnetic properties were investigated. K1.6Mn8O16has K-vacancies of 1/5 mol and the formal valence of Mn3.8+(Mn3+/Mn4+= 1/4). It shows successive structural transitions at 250 and 380 K. The superstructure with fivefold periodicity along the monoclinicb-axis (tunnel direction) appears in the transition at 250 K, indicating the occurrence of K-vacancy order and charge order between Mn4+and Mn3+. K1.6Mn8O16has one extraeg-electron per five Mn4+ions, and these extra electrons are trapped by Mn ions adjacent to K-vacancies, resulting in the Mn3+state. K1.6Mn8O16shows a variable-range-hopping-type conductivity of a one-dimensional (1D) system in a wide temperature region and is a canted antiferromagnet with a considerable ratio of |θCW/TN|≈6, which indicates a frustration effect, as expected from the zigzag chains in the structure.
