Manganese radius

Conclusion. There is no need to multiply examples of the type considered, especially since our knowledge of the principles determining the structures of covalent crystals is still so incomplete that we can offer no explanation for the anomalous manganese radius indeed, even the observed arrangement1) of the bonds formed by sulfur in sulvanite, Om3FS4, was entirely unexpected and has been given only an ad hoc explanation. 

It is interesting that the difference between the effective radius of manganese in Mnll and the single-bond metallic radius, 0.260 A, is nearly as great as that between the anomalous octahedral manganese radius and the d2 p octahedral radius (Sec. 7-9). It is likely that in MnH the 3d orbitals of the manganese atom are all occupied by electrons and that the bond orbital has very little d character.

Because of the large number of carbonyl groups required to satisfy the noble gas rule and the relatively small metallic radius, serious steric limitations are present for manganese tetranuclear closed clusters12). The only known tetranuclear compounds are some mixed clusters, MnOs3(CO)16H and MnOs3(CO)13H3 (see later), which have been prepared from Os3(CO)12 and [Mn(CO)s] 161). 

Reduction lowers the charge to radius ratio of transition metal ions, promoting higher rates of ligand substitution. Reduced, divalent oxidation states of manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel are also quite soluble (Table II). 

The atomic radius of technetium is by 0.02 A smaller than that of rhenium, whereas the difference of the atomic radii of technetium and manganese is almost 0.1 A. The density of the technetium metal is slightly higher than that of lead.
