Manganese(IV) fluoride hydrofluoric acid. The pentafluoromanganate(1−) salts of potassium, rubidium and caesium, MMnF, can be prepared by fluorination of MMnF or by the reaction of [MnF(py)(HO)] with MF. The lemon-yellow heptafluoromanganate(3−) salts of the same metals, MMnF, have also been prepared. 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
Manganese(II) chloride batteries. It is the precursor to the antiknock compound methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl. Manganism, or manganese poisoning, can be caused by long-term exposure to manganese dust or fumes. Manganese(II) chloride Manganese(II) chloride describes a series of compounds with the formula MnCl(HO), where the value of x can be 0, 2, or 4. The tetrahydrate is the most common form of "manganese(II) chloride" and is the tetrahydrate with the formula MnCl·4HO. The anhydrous form and a dihydrate MnCl·2HO are also known. Like many Mn(II) species, these salts are pink, with the paleness of the color being characteristic of transition metal complexes with
