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.[2][3]

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.[1][5] This is still the commonest method of preparation, although the sublimation can be avoided by operating at increased fluorine pressure (4.5–6 bar at 180–320 °C) and mechanically agitating the powder to avoid sintering of the grains.[2][6] The reaction can also be carried out starting from manganese powder in a fluidized bed.[7][8]

Other preparations of MnF4 include the fluorination of MnF2 with krypton difluoride,[9] or with F2 in liquid hydrogen fluoride solution under ultraviolet light.[10] 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.[11]

K2MnF6 + 2 SbF5 → MnF4 + 2 KSbF6

Chemistry

Decomposition

Manganese tetrafluoride is in equilibrium with manganese(III) fluoride and elemental fluorine:

MnF4 ⇌ MnF3 + ½ F2

Decomposition is favoured by increasing temperature, and disfavoured by the presence of fluorine gas, but the exact parameters of the equilibrium are unclear, with some sources saying that MnF4 will decompose slowly at room temperature,[12][13] others placing a practical lower temperature limit of 70 °C,[2] and another claiming that MnF4 is essentially stable up to 320 °C.[14] The equilibrium pressure of fluorine above MnF4 at room temperature has been estimated at about 10−4 Pa (10−9 bar), and the enthalpy change of reaction at +44(8) kJ mol−1.[15][Note 2]

Other reactions

Manganese tetrafluoride reacts violently with water and even with sodium dried petroleum ether. It immediately decomposes on contact with moist air.[1]

Reaction with alkali metal fluorides or concentrated hydrofluoric acid gives the yellow hexafluoromanganate(IV) anion [MnF6]2−.[14]

Applications

Fluoromanganate(IV) complexes

The yellow hexafluoromanganate(2−) of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal cations have been known since 1899, and can be prepared by the fluorination of MnF2 with the appropriate halide.[10][17][18][19] They are much more stable than manganese tetrafluoride.[11] Potassium hexafluoromanganate(IV), K2MnF6, can also be prepared by the controlled reduction of potassium permanganate in 50% aqueous hydrofluoric acid.[20][21]

2 KMnO4 + 2 KF + 10 HF + 3 H2O2 → 2 K2MnF6 + 8 H2O + 3 O2

The pentafluoromanganate(1−) salts of potassium, rubidium and caesium, MMnF5, can be prepared by fluorination of MMnF3 or by the reaction of [MnF4(py)(H2O)] with MF.[19][21] The lemon-yellow heptafluoromanganate(3−) salts of the same metals, M3MnF7, have also been prepared.[22]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. ↑ Reports of the preparation of MnF4 date back to the nineteenth century,[4] but are inconsistent with the now-known chemistry of the genuine compound.
  2. ↑ These two results are inconsistent with one another, as ΔrHo would have to be about +80 kJ mol−1 for peq(F2) ≈ 10−9 bar at 298 K, given that the overwhelming contribution to ΔrSo is So(F2) = 202.791(5) J K−1 mol−1.[16] The quoted value of ΔrHo is consistent with most reported decomposition temperatures.
