Manganese induce a strong green color in glass by forming less-colored iron(III) and slightly pink manganese(II), compensating for the residual color of the iron(III). Larger quantities of manganese are used to produce pink colored glass. Tetravalent manganese is used as an activator in red-emitting phosphors. While many compounds are known which show luminescence the majority is not used in commercial application due to low efficiency or deep red emission. However, several Mn aktivated fluorides were reported as potential red emitting phorshors for warm-white LEDs. But to this day, only KSiF:Mn is commercially available for use in warm-white LEDs. The manganese oxide
Manganese(III) fluoride octahedral, and trivalent in all of these materials. Manganese(III) fluoride fluorinates organic compounds including aromatic hydrocarbons, cyclobutenes, and fullerenes. On heating, MnF decomposes to manganese(II) fluoride. Manganese(III) fluoride Manganese(III) fluoride (also known as Manganese trifluoride) is the inorganic compound with the formula MnF. This red/purplish solid is useful for converting hydrocarbons into fluorocarbons, i.e., it is a fluorination agent. It forms a hydrate and many derivatives. MnF can be prepared by treating a solution of MnF in hydrogen fluoride with fluorine: It can also be prepared by the reaction of elemental fluorine with a manganese(II) halide at ~250 °C. Like
