Manganese(II) nitrate refers to the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO3)2·(H2O)n. These compounds are nitrate salts containing varying amounts of water. A common derivative is the tetrahydrate, Mn(NO3)2·4H2O, but mono- and hexahydrates are also known as well as the anhydrous compound. Some of these compounds are useful precursors to the oxides of manganese.[1] As a manganese(II) compound, it is paramagnetic and usually pale pink.

Structure[]

Manganese(II) compounds, especially with oxygenated ligands, are typically octahedral. Following this trend, the tetrahydrate features four aquo ligands bound to Mn as well as two mutually cis, unidentate nitrate ligands.[2]

Preparation, reactions, uses[]

Manganese(II) nitrate is prepared from manganese dioxide and nitrogen dioxide:[1]

MnO2 + 2 NO2 + 4 H2O → Mn(H2O)4(NO3)2

Heating the tetrahydrate to 110 °C gives the pale yellow monohydrate.[3]

On heating to 300 °C, aqueous solutions of manganese(II) nitrate decompose to form MnO2 and NO2.

Manganese(II) nitrate is the precursor to manganese(II) carbonate, which is used in fertilizers and as a colorant. The advantage of this method, use of ammonia and carbon dioxide, being that the side product ammonium nitrate is also useful as a fertilizer.[1]
