Manganese(III) 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 vanadium(III) fluoride, MnF features octahedral metal centers with the same average M-F bond distances. In the Mn compound, however, is distorted (and hence a monoclinic unit
Chemical clock can be added to some chemical clocks to build a chemical oscillator. For example, the Briggs-Rauscher reaction is derived from an iodine clock reaction by adding perchloric acid, malonic acid and manganese sulfate.. Chemical clock A chemical clock (or clock reaction) is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the onset of an observable property occurs after a predictable induction time. In cases where one of the reagents has a visible color, crossing a concentration threshold can lead to an abrupt color change after a reproducible time lapse. One class of example is the iodine clock reactions, in
