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, MnO2−
4
, also known as manganate(VI) because it contains manganese in the +6 oxidation state.[1] Manganates are the only known manganese(VI) compounds.[2]

Structure of manganate

Other manganates include hypomanganate or manganate(V), MnO3−
4
, permanganate or manganate(VII), MnO
4
, and the dimanganate or dimanganate(III) Mn

O6−

.

A manganate(IV) anion MnO4−
4
has been prepared by radiolysis of dilute solutions of permanganate.[3][4] It is mononuclear in dilute solution, and shows a strong absorption in the ultraviolet and a weaker absorption at 650 nm.[3]

Structure

Solution containing the manganate(VI) ion

The manganate(VI) ion is tetrahedral, similar to sulfate or chromate: indeed, manganates are often isostructural with sulfates and chromates, a fact first noted by Eilhard Mitscherlich in 1831.[5] The manganeseoxygen distance is 165.9 pm, about 3 pm longer than in permanganate.[5] As a d1 ion, it is paramagnetic, but any Jahn–Teller distortion is too small to be detected by X-ray crystallography.[5] Manganates are dark green in colour, with a visible absorption maximum of λmax = 606 nm (ε = 1710 dm3 mol−1 cm−1).[6][7] The Raman spectrum has also been reported.[8]

Preparation

Sodium and potassium manganates are usually prepared in the laboratory by stirring the equivalent permanganate in a concentrated solution (5–10 M) of the hydroxide for 24 hours[6] or with heating.[9]

+ 4 OH4 MnO2−

+ 2 H2O + O2

Potassium manganate is prepared industrially, as an intermediate to potassium permanganate, by dissolving manganese dioxide in molten potassium hydroxide with potassium nitrate or air as the oxidizing agent.[2]

+ 2 H2O

Disproportionation

Manganates are unstable towards disproportionation in all but the most alkaline of aqueous solutions.[2] The ultimate products are permanganate and manganese dioxide, but the kinetics are complex and the mechanism may involve protonated and/or manganese(V) species.[10][11]

Uses

Manganates, particularly the insoluble barium manganate, BaMnO4, have been used as oxidizing agents in organic synthesis: they will oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes and then to carboxylic acids, and secondary alcohols to ketones.[12][13] Barium manganate has also been used to oxidize hydrazones to diazo compounds.[14]

Manganate is formally the conjugate base of hypothetical manganic acid H

MnO

, which cannot be formed because of its rapid disproportionation. However, its second acid dissociation constant has been estimated by pulse radiolysis techniques:[3]

Manganites

The name "manganite" is used for compounds formerly believed to contain the anion MnO3−
3
, with manganese in the +3 oxidation state. However, most of these "manganites" do not contain discrete oxyanions, but are mixed oxides with perovskite (LaMnIIIO3, CaMnIVO3), spinel (LiMnIII,IV
2
O4) or sodium chloride (LiMnIIIO2, NaMnIIIO2) structures.

One exception is potassium dimanganate(III), K6Mn2O6, which contains discrete Mn2O6−
6
anions.[15]
