Manganese(II) nitrate

Manganese(II) nitrate are the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO3)2·(H2O)n. Each formula unit is composed of one Mn2+ cation and two NO3− anions and varying amounts of water. Most common 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]

Preparation, reactions, uses

Manganese(II) nitrate is prepared by dissolving manganese(II) oxide in nitric acid:

MnO + 2 HNO3 → Mn(NO3)2 + H2O

It can also be prepared from manganese dioxide and nitrogen dioxide:[1]

MnO2 + 2 NO2 → Mn(NO3)2

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

Manganese(II) nitrate is the precursor to manganese 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]
