Manganese azide

Martin [126] prepared nickel, cobalt, zinc and manganese azides by the action of an ether solution of hydrazoic acid on the dry metal carbonate. Cuprous azide, CuN3, was obtained in the form of a light grey sediment by the reaction of sodium azide with a solution of cuprous sulphate. 

T. Curtius and J. Rissom showed that the evaporation of a soln. of manganese carbonate in hydrazoic acid gives a pulverulent, non-crystalline manganese hydroxyazide, Mn(OH)(N3)2, which cannot be purified by re-crystallization. The product is sparingly soluble in water it does not explode by percussion, but does so on a hot plate. L. Wohler and F. Martin gave 203° for the explosion temp, of manganese azide. T. Curtius and J. Rissom obtained a colourless soln. of ferrous azide by the action of sodium azide on a soln. of ferrous ammonium sulphate when boiled, the salt decomposes and when shaken in air, a blood-red soln. of ferric azide is formed. The same salt can also be obtained directly from ferric salts. When the soln. of ferric azide is boiled, ferric hydroxide is precipitated and, added T. Curtius and A. Darapsky, if allowed to stand in... 

Irradiation of manganese azides derived from Mn(III) porphyrin, cyclam, and polyamide complexes represents one of the earliest methods reported for the preparation of nitrido manganese complexes (Eq. (40)) [50], Additional methods have become available for the synthesis of manganese nitrides that utilize ammonia in combination with oxidants such as Cl2, PhIO, NaCIO, and NBS (Eq. (41)) [51-53]. Employing these methods, the manganese nitrides incorporating porphyrin, phath-locyanine, cyclam, salen, and bidentate Schiff base complexes have been documen-... 

Of the five oxidation states of manganese, only Mn(II) forms azides. The normal azide, Mn(N3)2, consists of white, sandy crystals which are chemically and explosively not very stable thus, exposure to the atmosphere causes a brown discoloration (oxidation to Mn02), and the compound explodes above 218°C and is sensitive to impact and friction [54,115,143]. The azide is not easy to make, as dissolving manganous carbonate in hydrazoic acid yields basic products [62,135]. Reaction of the dry carbonate with ethereal hydrazoic acid is impractically slow, but the latter yields Mn(N3)2 when shaken with basic manganese azide for three days [54]. 

Basic manganese azide, that is to say a white to brownish solid of the approximate composition (OH)Mn(N3), is obtained from aqueous solutions by precipitation with alcohol [135]. The solid explodes in a flame but is not sensitive to mechanical shock.

Procedure. The water sample should be collected by carefully filling a 200-250 mL bottle to the very top and stoppering it while it is below the water surface. This should eliminate any further dissolution of atmospheric oxygen. By using a dropping pipette placed below the surface of the water sample, add 1 mL of a 50 per cent manganese(II) solution (Note 1) and in a similar way add 1 mL of alkaline iodide-azide solution (Note 2). Re-stopper the water sample and shake the mixture well. The manganese(III) hydroxide forms as a brown precipitate. Allow the precipitate to settle completely for 15 minutes and add 2 mL of concentrated phosphoric(V) acid (85 per cent). Replace the stopper and turn the bottle upside-down two or three times in order to mix the contents. The brown precipitate will dissolve and release iodine in the solution (Note 3).

The preparation and immediate use of manganese(III) azide species generated slowly in situ by refluxing manganese(III) acetate and sodium azide in acetic acid in presence of alkene reaction substrates to prepare 1,2-diazidoalkanes avoids the need to isolate manganese(III) azide which has a high probability of explosive instability [1]. The (II) azide is known [20260-90-6], isolable, detonable and has been patented as a power source for lasers [2],...

Narang, K. K. et al., Synth. React, lnorg. Met.-Org. Chem., 1996, 26(4), 573 The explosive properties of a series of 5 amminecobalt(III) azides were examined in detail. Compounds were hexaamminecobalt triazide, pentaammineazidocobalt diazide, cis- and fram-tetraamminediazidocobalt azide, triamminecobalt triazide [1], A variety of hydrazine complexed azides and chloroazides of divalent metals have been prepared. Those of iron, manganese and copper could not be isolated cobalt, nickel, cadmium and zinc gave products stable at room temperature but more or less explosive on heating [2],...

Crystal structures of manganese catalases (in the (111)2 oxidation state) from Lactobacillus plantarum,its azide-inhibited complex, " and from Thermus thermophilus have been determined. There are differences between the structures that may reflect distinct biological functions for the two enzymes, the L. plantarum enzyme functions only as a catalase, while the T. thermo-philus enzyme may function as a catalase/peroxidase. The active sites are conserved in the two enzymes and are shown schematically in Figure 32. Each subunit contains an Mu2 active site,...
