Total number of cis N-Mn-Cl bond angles (that is, Mn-N and Mn-Cl bonds in cis positions) present in a molecule of cis- complex is ____

(en )

Answer: 6

Solution

In the cis- complex:
  • Mn is octahedrally coordinated.
  • Two bidentate ethylenediamine (en) ligands provide 4 N donors.
  • Two Cl⁻ ligands are in cis positions (adjacent, 90° apart).

Each Cl is cis to:
  • 3 N atoms from the two en ligands (since the two Cl are adjacent, each Cl has 3 N atoms at 90°).

Total cis N-Mn-Cl angles =
