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, (Na,Ca)_0.5(Mn^IV,Mn^III)₂O₄ · 1.5 H₂O
• Buserite, MnO₂·nH₂O
• Hausmannite, Mn^IIMn^III₂O₄
