Manganese(II) nitrate refers to the inorganic compounds with formula Mn(NO₃)₂·(H₂O)_n. These compounds are nitrate salts containing varying amounts of water. A common derivative is the tetrahydrate, Mn(NO₃)₂·4H₂O, but mono- and hexahydrates are also known as well as the anhydrous compound. Some of these compounds are useful precursors to the oxides of manganese. Typical of a manganese(II) compound, it is a paramagnetic pale pink solid.
