Electrochromic manganese oxide thin films were prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The source material was manganese (III) acetylacetonate. Transparent Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4} thin films were obtained at a substrate temperature above 250 C. Oxidation and reduction of the films in a 0.3 M LiClO{sub 4} propylene carbonate solution resulted in desirable changes in optical absorption. Coulometry indicated that the coloration efficiency was 6.03 cm{sup 2}/C.
