Manganese(IV) fluoride Manganese(IV) fluoride Manganese tetrafluoride, MnF, is the highest fluoride of manganese. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and is used as a means of purifying elemental fluorine. Manganese tetrafluoride was first unequivocally prepared in 1961 by the reaction of manganese(II) fluoride (or other Mn compounds) with a stream of fluorine gas at 550 °C: the MnF sublimes into the gas stream and condenses onto a cold finger. This is still the commonest method of preparation, although the sublimation can be avoided by operating at increased fluorine pressure (4.5–6 bar at 180–320 °C) and mechanically agitating the powder to avoid sintering
Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl as well as its rapid photo-degradation properties, it has been concluded in multiple technical and global regulatory assessments that significant impacts to human health or the environment from MMT use are not anticipated. NICNAS concluded that there is "low occupational risk associated with MMT" both "for workers involved in formulating and distributing LRP or aftermarket fuel additives and those involved in automotive maintenance". Further, they also concluded that there is a "low risk" to the public from the use of MMT. Significant human or environmental exposures associated with manganese compounds (manganese phosphate, manganese sulphate and manganese tetraoxide) from the combustion
