Manganese(II) nitrate tetrahydrate (Mn(NO3)2•4H2O)-crystalline

Characteristic

 

Manganese(II) nitrate are the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO3)2(H2O)n. Each formula unit is composed of one Mn2+ cation and two NO3− anions and varying amounts of water. Most common is the tetrahydrate Mn(NO3)2·4H2O, but mono- and hexahydrates are also known as well as the anhydrous compound. Some of these compounds are useful precursors to the oxides of manganese.
