Consider the complex
trans-Mn(NH3)4(CN)2. What point
group is this complex?
What is the symmetry for each of the d orbitals?
Draw the expected d orbital splitting, and fill with
electrons.
In units of Bohr magnetons, what is the electronic contribution
to the magnetic susceptibility of this complex?
If we add 1 equivalent of cyanide to a solution of the above
complex to replace a NH3 ligand with a CN-
ligand, what mechanism should this ligand exchange follow?
