Manganese dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula MnO 2 . This blackish or brown solid occurs naturally as the mineral pyrolusite , which is the main ore of manganese and a component of manganese nodules .
Pyrolusite is a mineral consisting essentially of manganese dioxide (Mn O 2) and is important as an ore of manganese. [7] It is a black, amorphous appearing mineral, often with a granular, fibrous, or columnar structure, sometimes forming reniform crusts. It has a metallic luster, a black or bluish-black streak, and readily soils the fingers.
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.
Manganese(IV) oxide (manganese dioxide, MnO 2) is used as a reagent in organic chemistry for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols (where the hydroxyl group is adjacent to an aromatic ring). Manganese dioxide has been used since antiquity to oxidize and neutralize the greenish tinge in glass from trace amounts of iron contamination. [ 45 ]
Birnessite (nominally MnO 2 ·nH 2 O), also known as δ-MnO 2, is a hydrous manganese dioxide mineral with a chemical formula of Na 0.7 Ca 0.3 Mn 7 O 14 ·2.8H 2 O. [5] It is the main manganese mineral species at the Earth's surface, and commonly occurs as fine-grained, poorly crystallized aggregates in soils, sediments, grain and rock coatings (e.g., desert varnish), and marine ferromanganese ...
Raw umber (PBr7): a natural clay pigment consisting of iron oxide, manganese oxide and aluminum oxide: Fe 2 O 3 + MnO 2 + n H 2 O + SiO 2 + Al 2 O 3. When calcined (heated) it is referred to as burnt umber and has more intense colors. Raw sienna (PBr7): a naturally occurring yellow-brown pigment from limonite clay. Used in art since prehistoric ...
Manganese(II) oxide is an inorganic compound with chemical formula MnO. [2] It forms green crystals. The compound is produced on a large scale as a component of fertilizers and food additives .
Manganese(II) chloride is the dichloride salt of manganese, MnCl 2. This inorganic chemical exists in the anhydrous form, as well as the di hydrate (MnCl 2 ·2H 2 O) and tetrahydrate (MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O), with the tetrahydrate being the most common form.
