W. Levason et Rd. Oldroyd, THE TRIS(TELLURATO)MANGANATE(IV) ANION - SPECTROSCOPIC AND STRUCTURALSTUDIES OF NA7K [MN(TEO4(OH)(2))(3)]CENTER-DOT-3H(2)O, Polyhedron, 14(8), 1995, pp. 967-970
The deep red manganese(IV) complex Na7K[Mn{TeO4(OH)(2)}(3)]. 3H(2)O ha
s been prepared by S2O82- oxidation of a mixture of manganese(II) salt
and telluric acid in aqueous alkali. It has been characterized by ana
lysis, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The struc
ture of the anion has been established by a combination of manganese a
nd tellurium K-edge EXAFS studies. Attempts to obtain a nickel(IV) tel
lurate have been unsuccessful.
