Manganese(II) nitrate

Manganese(II) nitrate refers to the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO3)2·(H2O)n. These compounds are nitrate salts containing varying amounts of water. A common derivative is the tetrahydrate, Mn(NO3)2·4H2O, but mono- and hexahydrates are also known as well as the anhydrous compound. Some of these compounds are useful precursors to the oxides of manganese.[1] As a manganese(II) compound, it is paramagnetic and usually pale pink.

Structure

Manganese(II) compounds, especially with oxygenated ligands, are typically octahedral. Following this trend, the tetrahydrate features four aquo ligands bound to Mn as well as two mutually cis, unidentate nitrate ligands.[2]

Preparation, reactions, uses

Manganese(II) nitrate is prepared from manganese dioxide and nitrogen dioxide:[1]

MnO2 + 2 NO2 + 4 H2O → Mn(H2O)4(NO3)2

Heating the tetrahydrate to 110 °C gives the pale yellow monohydrate.[3]

On heating to 300 °C, aqueous solutions of manganese(II) nitrate decompose to form MnO2 and NO2.

Manganese(II) nitrate is the precursor to manganese(II) carbonate, which is used in fertilizers and as a colorant. The advantage of this method, use of ammonia and carbon dioxide, being that the side product ammonium nitrate is also useful as a fertilizer.[1]
