Write the reaction when solid manganese(ii) chloride is put into water:

Answer :

The hydrates dissolve in water to give mildly acidic solutions with a pH of around 4. These solutions consist of the metal aquo complex [Mn(H2O)6]2+.

It is a weak Lewis acid, reacting with chloride ions to produce a series of solids containing the following ions [MnCl3]−, [MnCl4]2−, and [MnCl6]4−. Both [MnCl3]− and [MnCl4]2− are polymeric.

Upon treatment with typical organic ligands, manganese(II) undergoes oxidation by air to give Mn(III) complexes. Examples include [Mn(EDTA)]−, [Mn(CN)6]3−, and [Mn(acetylacetonate)3]. Triphenylphosphine forms a labile 2:1 adduct:

MnCl2 + 2 Ph3P → [MnCl2(Ph3P)2]

Anhydrous manganese(II) chloride serves as a starting point for the synthesis of a variety of manganese compounds. For example, manganocene is prepared by reaction of MnCl2 with a solution of sodium cyclopentadienide in THF.

MnCl2 + 2 NaC5H5 → Mn(C5H5)2 + 2 NaCI
