Manganese(II) oxide is the inorganic compound with formula MnO.[1] MnO is a basic oxide that is insoluble in water but dissolves in acids, forming manganese(II) salts.[2]

Contents

Preparation and occurrence

MnO can be prepared by the reduction of any higher oxide with hydrogen[2] e.g.:

MnO2 + H2 → MnO + H2O

Commercially it is prepared by reduction of MnO2 with hydrogen, carbon monoxide or methane:[1]

MnO2 + CO → MnO + CO2

MnO can also be prepared by heating MnCO3:[3]

MnCO3 → MnO + CO2

This calcining process is conducted anaerobically to prevent formation of Mn2O3. MnO occurs in nature as the rare mineral manganosite.

Structure and properties

MnO has the NaCl, rock salt structure, where cations and anions are both octahedrally coordinated.[2] The composition of MnO can vary from MnO to MnO1.045.[2]
Below 118 K MnO is antiferromagnetic.[2] MnO has the distinction of being one of the first compounds[4] to have its magnetic structure determined by neutron diffraction in 1951.[5]. This study showed that the Mn2+ ions form a face centered cubic magnetic sub-lattice where there are ferromagnetically coupled sheets which are anti-parallel with adjacent sheets.

Applications

Together with manganese sulfate, MnO is a component of fertilizer and feed additives. Many thousands of tons are consumed annually for this purpose.[1]
