The number of \(n\times n\) pure imaginary quaternionic orthonormal matrices is analysed, i.e. the number \(p\) of the solutions of the Hurwitz matrix equations \[ T_iT_j^*+T_jT_i^*=2\delta_{ij}I,\quad i,j=1,\dots,p \] having the form \(sX\), where \(s\in\{1,i,j,k\}\) and \(X\) belonging to the real vector space of \(n\times n\) matrices with entries in the skew-field of real quaternions. The maximum number of these solutions is determined for \(n=2^m\) and \(m\neq0\)(mod 4). In the case \(m=0\) an evaluation of this number is given, and this is extended to a conjecture for the case \(m\equiv0\)(mod 4), \(m\neq0\). A construction of such numbers of pure imaginary matrices \(sX\) with \(X\) \(\{0,1,-1\}\)-matrices is provided.
