Manganese(II) nitrate is the precursor to manganese(II) carbonate (MnCO 3), which is used in fertilizers and as a colourant. The advantage of this method, based on the use of ammonia (NH 3) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) as reaction intermediates, being that the side product ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3) is also useful as a fertilizer.

For example, addition of potassium permanganate to an aqueous solution of sugar and sodium hydroxide produces the chemical chameleon reaction, which involves dramatic color changes associated with the various oxidation states of manganese. A related vigorous reaction is exploited as a fire starter in survival kits.
Manganese(II) acetate are chemical compounds with the formula Mn(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·(H 2 O)n where n = 0, 2, 4. These materials are white or pale pink solids.
The chemical chameleon reaction shows the process in reverse, by reducing violet potassium permanganate first to green potassium manganate and eventually to brown manganese dioxide: [1] [2] [5] KMnO 4 (violet) → K 2 MnO 4 (green) → MnO 2 (brown/yellow suspension) Blue potassium hypomanganate may also form as an intermediate.

Organomanganese chemistry is the chemistry of organometallic compounds containing a carbon to manganese chemical bond.In a 2009 review, Cahiez et al. argued that as manganese is cheap and benign (only iron performs better in these aspects), organomanganese compounds have potential as chemical reagents, although currently they are not widely used as such despite extensive research.
In inorganic nomenclature, a manganate is any negatively charged molecular entity with manganese as the central atom. [1] However, the name is usually used to refer to the tetraoxidomanganate(2−) anion, MnO 2− 4, also known as manganate(VI) because it contains manganese in the +6 oxidation state. [1] Manganates are the only known manganese ...
Manganese(III)-mediated radical reactions begin with the single-electron oxidation of a carbonyl compound to an α-oxoalkyl radical. Addition to an olefin then occurs, generating adduct radical 2 . The fate of 2 is primarily determined by reaction conditions—in the presence of copper(II) acetate, this intermediate undergoes further oxidation ...
Potassium permanganate will decompose into potassium manganate, manganese dioxide and oxygen gas: 2 KMnO 4 → K 2 MnO 4 + MnO 2 + O 2. This reaction is a laboratory method to prepare oxygen, but produces samples of potassium manganate contaminated with MnO 2. The former is soluble and the latter is not.
