Cobalt(II) chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt of cobalt and chlorine, with the formula CoCl 2.The compound forms several hydrates CoCl 2 ·n H 2 O, for n = 1, 2, 6, and 9. . Claims of the formation of tri- and tetrahydrates have not been confirmed
Cobalt(II) nitrate exists in the anhydrous form and the hydrate form, of which the hexahydrate is the most common. Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O) is a red deliquescence crystal that is easily soluble in water, [ 12 ] and its molecule contains cobalt(II) hydrated ions ([Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ ) and free nitrate ions.

Cobalt(III) chloride or cobaltic chloride is an unstable and elusive compound of cobalt and chlorine with formula CoCl 3. In this compound, the cobalt atoms have a formal charge of +3. [1] The compound has been reported to exist in the gas phase at high temperatures, in equilibrium with cobalt(II) chloride and chlorine gas.
Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate. Four dihalides of cobalt(II) are known: cobalt(II) fluoride (CoF 2, pink), cobalt(II) chloride (CoCl 2, blue), cobalt(II) bromide (CoBr 2, green), cobalt(II) iodide (CoI 2, blue-black). These halides exist in anhydrous and hydrated forms. Whereas the anhydrous dichloride is blue, the hydrate is red. [23]
The cobalt chloride mentioned above occurs as [Co(H 2 O) 6] 2+ and Cl −. In tin chloride, each Sn(II) center is pyramidal (mean O/Cl−Sn−O/Cl angle is 83°) being bound to two chloride ions and one water. The second water in the formula unit is hydrogen-bonded to the chloride and to the coordinated water molecule.

Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride is the chemical compound with the formula [Co(NH 3) 6]Cl 3. It is the chloride salt of the coordination complex [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ , which is considered an archetypal "Werner complex", named after the pioneer of coordination chemistry, Alfred Werner .
A colorful example is cobalt(II) chloride, which turns from blue to red upon hydration, and can therefore be used as a water indicator.. The notation "hydrated compound⋅n H 2 O", where n is the number of water molecules per formula unit of the salt, is commonly used to show that a salt is hydrated.
