Manganese(II) acetate, anhydrous

Manganese acetate is a coordination compound with the formula Mn(OOCCH3)2. It is a redox catalyst that can be used in organic synthesis. Manganese acetate is soluble in water and reacts with acids to form the corresponding manganous salts. The oxidation potential of this compound has been determined to be -0.26 V versus Ag/AgCl (standard calomel electrode). Manganese acetate crystallizes as a hexagonal n-oxide, which can be converted to the carboxylate by heating at 220 ˚C for 6 hours. This conversion can also be achieved by hydrolysis with aqueous acid or base. The molecule of manganese acetate has two carboxyl groups and one hydroxyl group, and contains two nitrogen atoms, three oxygen atoms, and six carbon atoms. Manganese acetate is typically used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry reactions. It has been shown to
