Description
Manganese(II) Bromide Product Overview
Manganese(II) bromide (MnBr2) is a light pink crystalline solid that dissolves easily in water and absorbs moisture from the air. It is also available as the tetrahydrate.
In industry, manganese and bromide together form part of the catalyst system used for the air oxidation of p-xylene to Terephthalic Acid, together with cobalt salts such as Cobalt (II) acetate 4-hydrate. Chemists use manganese bromide in cross-coupling and organomanganese chemistry. In materials research, it is used to make luminescent manganese halide compounds and perovskite-related materials.
For other manganese compounds in our range, see Manganese(II) chloride and Manganese (II) Acetate 4-Hydrate; for another bromide, see Magnesium Bromide Hexahydrate.
