Manganese Oleate is used as a drier in varnishes. Used in the process of synthesis of water-soluble and biocompatible MnO@PVP nanoparticles for MR imaging in vitro and in vivo.

Cupric benzoate is the chemical compound derived from the cupric ion and the conjugate base of benzoic acid. Cupric benzoate is used in pyrotechnics to create a blue flame. This substance is harmful if swallowed and may cause respiratory irritation. Cupric benzoate complexes incorporating 2-(4'-thiazolyl)benzimidazole (thiabendazole), 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole and 1,10-phenanthroline had demonstrated anticancer activities.
