Dimanganion

/daɪmæŋˈɡeɪniən/ noun

Definition

A negatively charged ion or anion containing two manganese atoms.

Etymology

From 'di-' (two) + 'manganese' + '-ion.' Built from modern chemical nomenclature to describe a molecular structure with dual manganese atoms and a net negative charge.

Kelly Says

Dimanganion sounds like something from Star Trek, but it's actually how chemists describe a real molecule with two manganese atoms that gained extra electrons!
