Manganese(III) oxide a structure related to the spinel structure of MnO where the oxide ions are cubic close packed. This is similar to the relationship between γ-FeO and FeO. γ-MnO is ferrimagnetic with a Néel temperature of 39 K. Manganese(III) oxide Manganese(III) oxide is a chemical compound with the formula MnO. Heating MnO in air at below 800 °C produces α-MnO (higher temperatures produce MnO). γ-MnO can be produced by oxidation followed by dehydration of manganese(II) hydroxide. Many preparations of nano-crystalline MnO have been reported, for example syntheses involving oxidation of Mn salts or reduction of MnO. Manganese (III) oxide is formed
Manganese(IV) fluoride of the grains. The reaction can also be carried out starting from manganese powder in a fluidized bed. Other preparations of MnF include the fluorination of MnF with krypton difluoride, or with F in liquid hydrogen fluoride solution under ultraviolet light. Manganese tetrafluoride has also been prepared (but not isolated) in an acid–base reaction between antimony pentafluoride and KMnF as part of a chemical synthesis of elemental fluorine. Manganese tetrafluoride is in equilibrium with manganese(III) fluoride and elemental fluorine: Decomposition is favoured by increasing temperature, and disfavoured by the presence of fluorine gas, but the exact parameters of the equilibrium
