The structure of ferrocyanide ion is

 

 

Structure of ferrocyanide ion:

Fe (II) attached with six cyanide ions gives octahedral geometry.

Formation of Ferrocyanide ion. [Fe(CN)6]4-

Here Fe has +2 oxidation state, hence

The resulting complex ion is octahedral and diamagnetic as it does not contain any unpaired electron.

 

In the cyanide ion, the carbon is bonded with nitrogen by the triple covalent bond.

And six cyanide ions are coordinately bonded with Fe (II) ion to give the complex ion  [Fe(CN)6]4-
