Manganese Oxide

Manganese oxide is any of a variety of manganese oxides and hydroxides.^[1] These include

• Manganese(II) oxide, MnO
• Manganese(II,III) oxide, Mn₃O₄
• Manganese(III) oxide, Mn₂O₃
• Manganese dioxide, MnO₂
• Manganese(VI) oxide, MnO₃
• Manganese(VII) oxide, Mn₂O₇

Other manganese oxides include Mn₅O₈, Mn₇O₁₂ and Mn₇O₁₃.

Minerals

It may refer more specifically to the following manganese minerals:

• Birnessite
• Buserite
• Hausmannite
• Manganite
• Manganosite
• Psilomelane
• Pyrolusite

Manganese may also form mixed oxides with other metals :

• Columbite
• Tantalite, a mineral group close to columbite
• Coltan, a mixture of columbite and tantalite
• Galaxite, a spinel mineral
• Todorokite, a rare complex hydrous manganese oxide mineral
