Manganese oxalate is a chemical compound, a salt of manganese and oxalic acid with the chemical formula MnC2O4.[2][3] The compound creates light pink crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates.[4] It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite.[5]

Synthesis

Exchange reaction between sodium oxalate and manganese chloride:

[math]\displaystyle{ \mathsf{ MnCl_2 + Na_2C_2O_4 + 2H_2O \ \xrightarrow{}\ MnC_2O_4\cdot 2H_2O\downarrow + 2NaCl } }[/math]

Physical properties

Manganese oxalate forms light pink crystals.

It does not dissolve in water, p Ksp= 6.8.

Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition MnC2O4n H2O, where n = 2 and 3.[6]

Crystalline hydrate of the composition MnC2O4•2H2O forms light pink crystals of the orthorhombic system, space group P212121, cell parameters a = 0.6262 nm, b = 1.3585 nm, c = 0.6091 nm, Z = 4, melts in its own crystallization water at 100°C.[7][8]

Chemical properties

Decomposes on heating:

[math]\displaystyle{ \mathsf{ MnC_2O_4 \ \xrightarrow{215^oC}\ MnO + CO\uparrow + CO_2\uparrow } }[/math]

Application

  • Manganese oxalate is used as an auxiliary siccative.
  • Manganese oxalate precursor is used to synthesize single phase nanoparticles of various manganese oxides, such as MnO, Mn2O3, and Mn3O4.[9]
