Manganese oxalate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula MnC2O4. [3] [4] Solid samples are pale pink and insoluble in water. At least two hydrates have been observed. [5] It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite. [6]
Exchange reaction between sodium oxalate and manganese chloride:
The dihydrate can also be prepared hydrothermally. [1]
Manganese oxalate forms light pink crystals. The crystalline hydrates have the composition MnC2O4•n H2O, where n = 2 and 3. [7] The dihydrate forms light pink crystals of the orthorhombic system, space group P212121, cell parameters a = 0.6262 nm, b = 1.3585 nm, c = 0.6091 nm, Z = 4, melts in its own crystallization water at 100 °C.

It does not dissolve in water, pKsp = 6.8.
