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.

The compound is usually prepared by mixing cobalt(II) chloride, dimethylglyoxime and pyridine in an ethanolic solution. This process afford the cobaloxime(II), which is subsequently oxidized by the oxygen in air: [3] 4 CoCl 2 •6H 2 O + 8 dmgH 2 + 8 py + O 2 → 4 ClCo(dmgH) 2 py + 4 py•HCl + 14 H 2 O
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.
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.

Several hydrated metal chlorides are not molecular and thus are not included in this tabulation. For example the dihydrates of manganese(II) chloride, nickel(II) chloride, copper(II) chloride, iron(II) chloride, and cobalt(II) chloride are coordination polymers.
Cobalt(II) perchlorate hexahydrate is produced by reacting cobalt metal or cobalt(II) carbonate with perchloric acid, followed by the evaporation of the solution: [1] CoCO 3 + 2 HClO 4 → Co(ClO 4) 2 + H 2 O + CO 2. The anhydrous form cannot be produced from the hexahydrate by heating, as it instead decomposes to cobalt(II,III) oxide at 170 °C.
