(e) In a ligand exchange test, three of the thiocyanate anions were replaced by three chloride anions to give complex anion. Sketch the possible isomers for the complex anion and identify the [Mn(CI)-(SCN);] the type of isomerism. (f) By suitable measurements, a minor product comprising of the [Mn(SCN)] complex anion was identified in the reaction mixture. (i) Deduce the possible geometric arrangements for the [Mn(SCN)] complex anion. (ii) Using a completely labelled crystal field splitting energy diagram, show the electronic configuration for any one of the geometries that you identified in part (1) above.
