Manganese tetrafluoride, MnF4, is the highest fluoride of manganese. It is used as a powerful oxidizing agent and as a means of purifying elemental fluorine.[1][2]

Preparation

Manganese tetrafluoride was first unequivocally prepared in 1961[Note 1] by the reaction of manganese(II) fluoride (or other MnII compounds) with a stream of fluorine gas at 550 °C: the MnF4 sublimes into the gas stream and condenses onto a cold finger.[5][6] This is till the commonest method of preparation, although the sublimation can be avoided by operating at increased fluorine pressure and mechanically agitating the powder to avoid sintering of the grains.[1][7] The reaction can also be carried out starting from manganese powder in a fluidized bed.[8][9]

Other preparations of MnF4 include the fluorination of MnF2 with krypton difluoride,[10] or with F2 in liquid hydrogen fluoride solution under ultraviolet light.[11] Manganese tetrafluoride has also been prepared (but not isolated) in an acid–base reaction between antimony pentafluoride and K2MnF6 as part of a chemical synthesis of elemental fluorine.[12]

Notes

  1. Reports of the preparation of MnF4 date back to the nineteenth century,[3] but are inconsistent with the now-known chemistry of the genuine compound. However, the more stable hexafluoromanganate(IV) compounds were prepared as early as 1899.[4]
