  • $X =\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_4 Cl _2\right]^{+}, Y =\left[ CoCl _4\right]^{2-}, Z =$ Tetrahedral
  • $X =\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{2+}, Y =\left[ CoCl _6\right]^{3-}, Z =$ Octahedral
  • $X =\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{2+}, Y =\left[ CoCl _4\right]^{2-}, Z =$ Tetrahedral
  • $X =\left[ Co \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}, Y =\left[ CoCl _6\right]^{3-}, Z =$ Octahedral
