We have investigated the electronic structure of LaMnPO by means of x-ray absorption and photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as LDA+U bandstructure calculations. From the spectroscopy, we found that the Mn ions have local moments and we also observed the strong presence of P-derived ligand hole states. Using LDA+U, we investigate how pressure can first make the system metallic while retaining local moments before entering a metallic state with weak delocalized moments. We also investigate theoretically how electron doping can quench the magnetism as to perhaps facilitate superconductivity like it is present in the Fe compounds.
