Manganese(II) acetate are chemical compounds with the formula Mn(CH3CO2)2·(H2O)n where n = 0, 2, 4. These materials are white or pale pink solids. Some of these compounds are used as a catalyst and as fertilizer.[3]

Preparation

Manganese(II) acetate can be formed by treating either manganese(II,III) oxide or manganese(II) carbonate with acetic acid:[4]

Mn3O4 + 2 CH3CO2H → Mn(CH3CO2)2 + Mn2O3 + H2O
MnCO3 + 2 CH3CO2H → Mn(CH3CO2)2 + CO2 + H2O

Structure

The anhydrous material and dihydrate Mn(CH3CO2)2·2H2O are coordination polymers. The dihydrate has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Each Mn(II) center is surrounded by six oxygen centers provided by aquo ligands and acetates.

Subunit of the structure of the dihydrate of manganese(II) acetate.[5]
