Normal manganese

In the second step, permanganate ion is reduced from Mn(VII) to Mn(V). However, the stable oxidation states of manganese are +2, +4, and +7 thus the Mn(V) ion formed disproportionates to Mn(VIl) and Mn(IV). The normal manganese end product from oxidations in basic solution is manganese dioxide, Mn02, in which Mn has an oxidation state of +4 corresponding to Mn(IV). 

Manganese has been found to be an essential nutrient for the human as well as for many other living organisms however, in excessive amounts, it is also a toxic material (1-6). Deficiency symptoms for manganese in several species have been created and manganese metabolic roles have, at least in part, been defined (5,7-15). So called "normal" manganese concentrations in blood have been established (1,10,16). Kinetics of manganese uptake and metabolism by... 

Anke et al. (1999b) reported normal manganese contents of liver, kidney and top hair of several animal species with 4-23, 3.2-9.8, and 1.3-44 mg kg DM, respectively. Interestingly, white top hair of goats and brown top hair of deer ranged at the lower level, and black top hair of pigs at the uppermost level due to melanin s affinity for man-... 

Most all the serious emptions of manganese furnaces can be traced to a set of conditions that cause bridging or hang-up of the charge materials so that the normal downward movement through the furnace is dismpted or retarded. As electrical energy continues to be suppHed to the furnace with Httie... 

Metabolic Functions. Manganese is essential for normal body stmcture, reproduction, normal functioning of the central nervous system, and activation of numerous enzymes (126). Synthesis of the mucopolysaccharide chondroitin sulfate involves a series of reactions where manganese is required in at least five steps (127). These reactions are responsible for formation of polysaccharides and linkage between the polysaccharide and proteins that form... 

Normal ranges of manganese, siUcon, phosphoms, and sulfur are assumed (see Steel). The balance is Fe in all cases. 

The oxidation of organic compounds by manganese dioxide has recently been reviewed. It is of limited application for the introduction of double bonds, but the advantages of mildness and simple workup make it attractive for some laboratory-scale transformations. Manganese dioxide is similar to chloranil in that it will oxidize A -3-ketones to A -dienones in refluxing benzene. Unfortunately, this reaction does not normally go to completion, and the separation of product from starting material is difficult. However, Sondheimer found that A -3-alcohols are converted into A -3-ketones, and in this instance separation is easier, but conversions are only 30%. (cf. Harrison s report that manganese dioxide in DMF or pyridine at room temperature very slowly converts A -3-alcohols to A -3-ketones.)... 

Although Fc304 is an inverse spinel it will be recalled that Mn304 (pp. 1048-9) is normal. This contrast can be explained on the basis of crystal field stabilization. Manganese(II) and Fe" are both d ions and, when high-spin, have zero CFSE whether octahedral or tetrahedral. On the other hand, Mn" is a d and Fe" a d ion, both of which have greater CFSEs in the octahedral rather than the tetrahedral case. The preference of Mn" for the octahedral sites therefore favours the spinel structure, whereas the preference of Fe" for these octahedral sites favours the inverse structure. 

Nitrogen is normally supplied as an ammonium compound in dtric acid fermentations and suffident has to be supplied to enable the effect of manganese deficiency (increased levels of ammonium in the metabolic pool) to occur. Remember that increased metabolic pool ammonium has the effect of releasing the allosteric controls exerted on phosphofructokinase.
