Solubility of Manganese Acetate salts

Crypto - 26-1-2014 at 03:36

Hey!

My chemistry books haven't got any info about the solubility of Manganese (II) and Manganese (III) Acetate in various solvents. I'm looking for the solubility in acetone, toluene, benzene and acetic acid (which interests me the most), in the temperature range of 20 to 80 centigrees. I got only the some data about the salts solubility in water.

Mn(III), as you probably know, is not very stable although the Mn(III) acetate does exist.

Are you looking at the anhydrous or hydrated forms?

For the Mn(III) acetate, this reference:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/047084289X.rm018/...

cites:

"Solubility: sol acetic acid, ethanol, and a variety of other organic solvents; disproportionates in water."

Solubility in aromatic solvents seems unlikely to me but I could be entirely wrong on that.

The whole article may have more information.
I don't have access but someone may.
