Abstract

Pyrolusite, a manganese ore from East Nusa Tenggara (Indonesia), was explored and utilized in the production of crystalline Mn(II) based coordination polymers materials, namely Mn(II)-terephthalate and Mn(II)-tartrate. The pyrolusite was extracted into Mn(II) sulfate by acid method in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The Mn(II) sulfate, characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), was then used as a precursor in the production of crystalline Mn(II) based coordination polymers materials using a solution method at room temperature. Two ligands, terephthalate and tartrate, were used separately, in which the terephthalate complex was prepared using a layered solution technique, while the tartrate complex was made using a direct mixing technique. The synthesized Mn(II) coordination polymers were then characterized by FTIR and PXRD. This study finds that the manganese ore was extracted as MnSO₄ compounds with purity of 96.88% and average crystallite size of 103 nm. The MnSO₄ was successfully converted into crystalline Mn(II) coordination polymers materials. Based on IR and PXRD analyses, the crystalline products were identified as Mn(II)-aqua-terephthalato and Mn(II)-aqua-tartrato hydrate complexes, in which the former complex display 3D networks and the latter complex display 2D sheets of polymeric structures.
