Manganese is a chemical element; it has symbol Mn and atomic number 25. It is a hard, brittle, silvery metal, often found in minerals in combination with iron. Manganese was first isolated in the 1770s. It is a transition metal with a multifaceted array of industrial alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels.
Naturally occurring manganese (25 Mn) is composed of one stable isotope, 55 Mn. Twenty-seven radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being 53 Mn with a half-life of 3.7 million years, 54 Mn with a half-life of 312.3 days, and 52 Mn with a half-life of 5.591 days. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that ...
A permanganate (/ pərˈmæŋɡəneɪt, pɜːr -/) [1] is a chemical compound with the manganate (VII) ion, MnO−. 4, the conjugate base of permanganic acid. Because the manganese atom has a +7 oxidation state, the permanganate (VII) ion is a strong oxidising agent. The ion is a transition metal ion with a tetrahedral structure. [2]
Manganese (II) hydroxide. [OH-]. [OH-]. [Mn+2] 0.00034 g/100 mL at 18 °C. [1] Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Manganese (II) hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Mn (OH) 2. It is a white solid although samples darken quickly upon exposure to air ...
Manganese oxide is any of a variety of manganese oxides and hydroxides. [1] These include Manganese(II) oxide, MnO; Manganese(II,III) oxide, Mn 3 O 4; Manganese(III) oxide, Mn 2 O 3; Manganese dioxide, MnO 2; Manganese(VI) oxide, MnO 3; Manganese(VII) oxide, Mn 2 O 7; Other manganese oxides include Mn 5 O 8, Mn 7 O 12 and Mn 7 O 13.
Manganate. 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]
The Mn(II) formed is soluble in most electrolytes and its dissolution degrades the cathode. With this in mind many manganese cathodes are substituted or doped to keep the average manganese oxidation state above +3.5 during battery use or they will suffer from lower overall capacities as a function of cycle life and temperature.

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. It was first described in 1860. [1] It is the acid anhydride of permanganic acid.
