Manganese(VII) oxide (manganese heptoxide) is an inorganic compound with the formula Mn 2 O 7.Manganese heptoxide is a volatile liquid with an oily consistency. It is a highly reactive and powerful oxidizer that reacts explosively with nearly any organic compound.
Mn 3 O 4 has been found to act as a catalyst for a range of reactions e.g. the oxidation of methane and carbon monoxide; [7] [8] the decomposition of NO, [9] the reduction of nitrobenzene [10] and the catalytic combustion of organic compounds. [11]
MnO has the distinction of being one of the first compounds [4] to have its magnetic structure determined by neutron diffraction, the report appearing in 1951. [5] This study showed that the Mn 2+ ions form a face centered cubic magnetic sub-lattice where there are ferromagnetically coupled sheets that are anti-parallel with adjacent sheets.
Two forms are generally recognized, α-Mn 2 O 3 and γ-Mn 2 O 3, [10] although a high pressure form with the CaIrO 3 structure has been reported too. [11] α-Mn 2 O 3 has the cubic bixbyite structure, which is an example of a C-type rare earth sesquioxide (Pearson symbol cI80, space group Ia 3, #206).
Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .
Structure of an octahedral metal aquo complex. Chromium(II) ion in aqueous solution. Most aquo complexes are mono-nuclear, with the general formula [M(H 2 O) 6] n+, with n = 2 or 3; they have an octahedral structure. The water molecules function as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the metal ion and forming a dative covalent bond ...
Gas bubblers are used to exclude air from a reaction or a system. In the former case, the gas bubbler is fitted on the condenser of the reaction set-up. In the latter case, an oil bubbler is usually installed at the end of the inert gas manifold on a Schlenk line to prevent contamination by atmospheric oxygen and water .
The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition. If decomposition is sufficiently exothermic, a positive feedback loop is created producing thermal runaway and possibly an explosion or other chemical reaction. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction where heat is a ...
