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
Symbol (chemistry) (see Chemical elements in East Asian languages). However, Latin symbols are also used, especially in formulas. A list of current, dated, as well as proposed and historical signs and symbols is included here with its signification. Also given is each element's atomic number, atomic weight or the atomic mass of the most stable isotope, group and period numbers on the periodic table, and etymology of the symbol. Hazard pictographs are another type of symbols used in chemistry. Antimatter atoms are denoted by a bar above the symbol for their matter counterpart, so e.g. H is the symbol for antihydrogen. The
