Strategy:
 Review specific geometrical requirements for isomerism in coordination complexes.  type octahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism.

Step 1: Determine complex types
- : Type . Exists as cis and trans isomers.
- : Type . Exists as fac and mer isomers.
- : Type  (5 cyano ligands and 1 isocyano ligand). By symmetry, replacing any one of the 6 identical positions in an  octahedron with a different ligand yields precisely the same geometry. Thus, no geometrical isomerism is pos
