Abstract
The ozonization of manganous ferro- and ferricyanides has been studied in the solid state using IR, Mössbauer and XRD techniques. Ferrocyanides are oxidized to ferrycanides without disruption of the complex anions, while Mn2+ is oxidized to the Mn3+ and Mn4+ states. On aging the mn3+ and Mn4+ species are reduced to Mn2+. The ferricyanide is not reduced to ferrocyanide, except in the case of the mixed K, Mn salt. The unstable product Mn4+3[Fe111(CN6]4·xH2O has been determined as a cubic species with a0 = 10.35(1)Å.
