So apparently graphene is the next 'big thing' with the development of quantum computing, albeit with one main problem (as far as I understand it) that hydrogen atoms can attach and fall off and cause disruptions.

Can someone explain why Manganese cannot be used instead of Carbon? It's just about as conductive, and can form the same honeycomb pattern without the extra room in its shell for hydrogen atoms to attach. Wouldn't this be a better material? Obviously this must have been thought of and I'm sure there is a simple answer, but what is it?

In the quantum world, no answer is simple.  Also, I've never heard or seen Manganese forming bonds with itself in an entire single atom sheet of 6 atom cyclic structures with 6 pi bonding electrons. 

In short, it can't form bonds with itself as well as carbon can, and has a totally different electron configuration
