Crystal Data of Mn5O8 and Cd2Mn3O8

Nature volume 207, page 72 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

RECENTLY, a new phase of manganese oxide with the ideal composition MnO1.6 or Mn5O8 has been obtained by several reactions: (a) Oxidation of Mn3O4 of suitable particle size (specific surfaces between 10 and ∼ 80 m2/g) in nitrogen–oxygen mixtures with oxygen contents of 5–100 per cent at temperatures varying from 250° to 550° C (refs. 1, 2 and 3). (b) Decomposition of β-MnOOH in air at similar temperatures1, (c) Topotactic decomposition of γ-MnOOH (synthetic and natural manganite) at low oxygen pressures at 400° C (ref. 1).
