  2. Manganese - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese

    The most prominent example of Mn in the +6 oxidation state is the green anion manganate, [MnO 4] 2−. Manganate salts are intermediates in the extraction of manganese from its ores. Compounds with oxidation states +5 are somewhat elusive, and often found associated to an oxide (O 2−) or nitride (N 3−) ligand. [29]

  3. Allotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropy

    Diamond and graphite are two allotropes of carbon: pure forms of the same element that differ in crystalline structure.. Allotropy or allotropism (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος (allos) 'other' and τρόπος (tropos) 'manner, form') is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, in the same physical state, known as allotropes of the elements.

  4. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    The oxygen-evolving complex is the site of water oxidation. It is a metallo-oxo cluster comprising four manganese ions (in oxidation states ranging from +3 to +4) [6] and one divalent calcium ion. When it oxidizes water, producing oxygen gas and protons, it sequentially delivers the four electrons from water to a tyrosine (D1-Y161) sidechain ...

  5. Manganese (II,III) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese(II,III)_oxide

    Manganese(II,III) oxide is the chemical compound with formula Mn 3 O 4. Manganese is present in two oxidation states +2 and +3 and the formula is sometimes written as MnO · Mn 2 O 3 . Mn 3 O 4 is found in nature as the mineral hausmannite .

    2 O + O 2. Manganese dioxide decomposes above about 530 °C to manganese(III) oxide and oxygen. At temperatures close to 1000 °C, the mixed-valence compound Mn 3 O 4 forms. Higher temperatures give MnO, which is reduced only with difficulty. [11] Hot concentrated sulfuric acid reduces MnO 2 to manganese(II) sulfate: [4] 2 MnO 2 + 2 H 2 SO 4 ...

  7. Manganese(II) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese(II)_oxide

    MnO 2 + H 2 → MnO + H 2 O MnO 2 + CO → MnO + CO 2. Upon heating to 450 °C, manganese(II) nitrate gives a mixture of oxides, MnO 2−x, which can be reduced to the monoxide with hydrogen at ≥750 °C. [6] MnO is particularly stable and resists further reduction. [7] MnO can also be prepared by heating the carbonate: [8] MnCO 3 → MnO + CO 2

  8. Oxygen-evolving complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen-evolving_complex

    Photons trapped by photosystem II move the system from state S 0 to S 1 to S 2 to S 3 and finally to S 4. S 4 reacts with water producing free oxygen: 2 H 2 O → O 2 + 4 H + + 4 e −. This conversion resets the catalyst to the S 0 state. The active site of the OEC consists of a cluster of manganese and calcium with the formula Mn 4 Ca 1 O x ...

    Several other aurides (KAu, RbAu) have since been synthesized, as well as the red transparent compound Cs 2 Pt which was found to contain Cs + and Pt 2− ions. [138] Manganese. Well-behaved metals have crystal structures featuring unit cells with up to four atoms. Manganese has a complex crystal structure with a 58-atom unit cell, effectively ...
