Embodiment 1

[0094] Example 1): Under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen (oxygen < 0.1 ppm), add dropwise to a stirred solution of manganese chloride tetrahydrate (16.0 g, 80.0 mmol) in degassed water (40 g) over 290 minutes A solution of potassium cyanide (12.0 g, 184 mmol) in deaerated water (40 g) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes, then filtered on a 0.45 micron filter. The resulting green powder was washed with degassed water (200ml), rinsed with degassed methanol (100ml) and dried under vacuum to give 9.6g of a green powder.

Embodiment 2

[0095] Example 2): To a stirred solution of manganese acetate tetrahydrate (19.6 g, 80.0 mmol) in degassed water (40 g) was added dropwise over 300 minutes under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen (oxygen < 0.1 ppm) A solution of potassium cyanide (12.0 g, 184 mmol) in degassed water (40 g). The resulting mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes, then filtered on a 0.45 micron filter. The resulting green powder was washed with degassed water (300ml), rinsed with degassed methanol (200ml) and dried under vacuum to give 9.35g of a green powder.

Embodiment 3

[0096] Example 3): Under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen (oxygen < 0.1 ppm), to a stirred solution of potassium cyanide (12.0 g, 184 mmol) in deaerated water (40 g) was added dropwise four A solution of manganese acetate hydrate (19.6 g, 80.0 mmol) in degassed water (40 g). The resulting mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes, then filtered on a 0.45 micron filter. The resulting green powder was washed with degassed water (200ml), rinsed with degassed methanol (100ml) and dried under vacuum to give 10.4g of a green powder.
