Manganese(III) fluoride Manganese(III) fluoride Manganese(III) fluoride (also known as Manganese trifluoride) is the inorganic compound with the formula MnF. This red/purplish solid is useful for converting hydrocarbons into fluorocarbons, i.e., it is a fluorination agent. It forms a hydrate and many derivatives. MnF can be prepared by treating a solution of MnF in hydrogen fluoride with fluorine: It can also be prepared by the reaction of elemental fluorine with a manganese(II) halide at ~250 °C. Like vanadium(III) fluoride, MnF features octahedral metal centers with the same average M-F bond distances. In the Mn compound, however, is distorted (and hence a monoclinic unit
Manganese exporter manganese efflux pump. Manganese sensitivity and intracellular manganese levels significantly increased in bacteria when the "mntP" (formerly "yebN") gene, which encodes the MntP efflux pump, was deleted. While manganese is a highly important trace nutrient for organisms from bacteria to humans, acting as an important element in the defense against oxidative stress and as an enzyme cofactor, it becomes toxic when present in excess. Manganese exporter The Manganese (Mn2+) Exporter (MntP) Family (TC# 2.A.107) is a member of the Lysine Exporter (LysE) Superfamily. The MntP family is a small family whose members have been found in bacteria and archaea. MntP
