The three complex ions [Mn(CN),]³-, [Mn(CN),J*¯, and [Mn(CN),]³- have all been synthesized and all are low- spin octahedral complexes. For each complex, determine the oxidation number of Mn, the configuration of the d electrons (how many t2g and how many eg), and the number of unpaired electrons present.
