Manganese Acetate

Manganous acetate is a chemical compound of manganese. Manganese is a naturally occurring metal with the symbol Mn and the atomic number 25. It does not occur naturally in its pure form, but is found in many types of rocks in combination with other substances such as oxygen, sulfur, or chlorine. Manganese occurs naturally in most foods and small amounts are needed to stay healthy, as manganese ions act as cofactors for a number of enzymes.

Manganese Acetate is used as a catalyst and as a reagent for organic reactions. It is used in the production of polyester chips, PTA, leather tanning and dishwashing detergents.

Manganese(II) acetate can be used:
As a precursor to synthesize manganese oxide nanoparticles for various applications such as gas sensing using the solvent-free method.
To fabricate electrodes for high-performance Li-ion batteries.
Suitable for the fabrication of spinel/layered heterostructured cathode materials for high-capacity and high-rate Li-Ion batteries.
As a starting material to prepare Mn-based catalysts.
To fabricate pyridine manganese halide scintillators for X-ray imaging.
