Consider the octahedral [NiF 6 ] 3 ion. What spin state and magnetic moment could it have?

Question:

Consider the octahedral [NiF6]3− ion. What spin state and magnetic moment could it have? How would the Jahn-Teller effect affect the two spin states, and how might this complicate an interpretation of the UV/vis absorption spectrum? How has evidence from the magnetic moment and absorption spectrum allowed a definitive assignment of the spin state?
