Manganese(II) phosphate Manganese(II) phosphate Manganese(II) phosphate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mn(PO). It is a rarely studied species, in contrast to the related lithium manganese phosphate, which has been investigated as a battery cathode. Manganese phosphates often combine with iron phosphates through paragenesis. In the process of paragenesis, each mineral affects the manner in which the other is crystallized. The minerals combine in isomorphic series, meaning that they crystallize in similar forms, producing a sequence of solids. Some examples of “isomorphic series” formed by Mn and Fe include heterosite (Fe,Mn)PO, purpurite (Mn,Fe)PO, and triplite (Mn,Fe)PO. The immersion method is
Manganese heptoxide with sulfuric acid to give the remarkable manganyl(VII) cation , which is isoelectronic with CrO MnO decomposes near room temperature, explosively so above 55 °C. The explosion can be initiated by striking the sample or by its exposure to oxidizable organic compounds. The products are MnO and O. Ozone is also produced, giving a strong smell to the substance. The ozone can spontaneously ignite a piece of paper impregnated with an alcohol solution. The production of manganese heptoxide is an undesirable byproduct in many situations. Manganese heptoxide Manganese(VII) oxide (manganese heptoxide) is an inorganic compound with the formula MnO. This
