Manganese stearate is a metal-organic compound, a salt of manganese and stearic acid with the chemical formula (C17H35CO2)2Mn. The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid. [1] The pure solid is white, but some impure samples appear brownish. [2]

Synthesis and uses

Manganese stearate is synthesized by the reaction of sodium stearate with manganese chloride. [2]

It is a precursor to Mn-doped zinc selenide phosphors. [2]

Also as an oxidant additive for oxo-biodegradable polymers (for example, high-density polyethylene). [3]
