Talk:Manganese(II) nitrate

wrong reaction
Manganese(II) nitrate is prepared from manganese dioxide and nitrogen dioxide: MnO2 +  2 NO2   +  4 H2O  →   Mn(H2O)4(NO3)2 is incorrect since it starts with Mn(IV) and there is no reductant. It should read: MnO +  2 NO2   +  4 H2O  →   Mn(H2O)4(NO3)2 2001:1C04:800:3C00:649A:57FC:C533:6614 (talk) 08:49, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * "is incorrect since it starts with Mn(IV) and there is no reductant." NO2 is the reductant.  Fundamental pattern: a metal is reduced by addition of radical to a ligand. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:55, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
