Manganese oxide is any of a variety of manganese oxides and hydroxides.[ 1] These include
Other manganese oxides include Mn5 O8 , Mn7 O12 and Mn7 O13 .
It may refer more specifically to the following manganese minerals:
Birnessite ,(Na,Ca)0.5 (MnIV ,MnIII )2 O4 · 1.5 H2 O Buserite ,MnO2 ·nH2 O Hausmannite ,MnII MnIII 2 O4 Manganite , MnIII O(OH)Manganosite , MnII OPsilomelane ,Ba(MnII )(MnIV )8 O16 (OH)4 , or(Ba,H2 O)2 Mn5 O10 Pyrolusite ,MnIV O2 Manganese may also form mixed oxides with other metals:
