Manganese oxalate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula MnC2O4.[3][4] Solid samples are pale pink and insoluble in water. At least two hydrates have been observed.[5] It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite.[6]
Synthesis
Exchange reaction between sodium oxalate and manganese chloride:
- MnCl2 + Na2C2O4 + 2 H2O → MnC2O4·2H2O + 2 NaCl
The dihydrate can also be prepared hydrothermally.[1]
Physical properties
Manganese oxalate forms light pink crystals. The crystalline hydrates have the composition MnC2O4•n H2O, where n = 2 and 3.[7] The dihydrate forms light pink crystals of the orthorhombic system, space group P212121, cell parameters a = 0.6262 nm, b = 1.3585 nm, c = 0.6091 nm, Z = 4, melts in its own crystallization water at 100 °C.[8][9]
It does not dissolve in water, pKsp = 6.8.
Chemical properties
Manganese oxalate is a precursor various manganese oxides, such as MnO, Mn
2O
3, and Mn
3O
4. it decomposes at 215 °C:[10]
- MnC2O4 → MnO + CO2 + CO
