Manganese(II) fluoride is thechemical compound composed ofmanganese andfluoride with theformula MnF2. It is a light pink solid, the light pink color being characteristic for manganese(II) compounds. It is made by treating manganese and diverse compounds of manganese(II) inhydrofluoric acid. Like some other metal difluorides, MnF2 crystallizes in therutile structure, which features octahedral Mn centers.[3]
MnF2 is used in the manufacture of special kinds ofglass andlasers.[4]It is a canonical example of uniaxial antiferromagnet (with Neel temperature of 68 K)[5] which has been experimentally studied since early on.[6]
