Manganese(II) nitrate Manganese(II) nitrate Manganese(II) nitrate are the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO)(HO). Each formula unit is composed of one Mn cation and two NO anions and varying amounts of water. Most common is the tetrahydrate Mn(NO)·4HO, 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. Manganese(II) nitrate is prepared by dissolving manganese(II) oxide in nitric acid: It can also be prepared from manganese dioxide and nitrogen dioxide: On heating to 300 °C, aqueous solutions of manganese(II) nitrate thermally decompose to form MnO and NO. Manganese(II)
Manganese(II) phosphate due to their toughness. Manganese phosphate coating can often be found in the oil and gas industry, firearms and ordnance, aerospace, gears and bearings, and in marine equipment. They are also common in engines, screws, nuts and bolts, and washers. Manganese(II) phosphate Manganese(II) phosphate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mn(PO). It is a rarely studied species, in contrast to the related lithium manganese phosphate, which has been investigated as a battery cathode. Manganese phosphates often combine with iron phosphates through paragenesis. In the process of paragenesis, each mineral affects the manner in which the other is crystallized.
