The coordination geometry of the complex [CoCl NH ] is octahedral. In this complex, the central cobalt ion  Co  is surrounded by four ammonia  NH  ligands and two chloride  Cl  ligands, making a total of six ligands in an octahedral arrangement. The UV-Vis spectra of octahedral complexes typically show d-d transition bands, which can be used to confirm the geometry.
