The octahedral structure is not the only possible sixcoordinate structure. Other possibilities include a planarhexagonal structure and a triangular prism structure. Inthe latter, the ligands are arranged in two parallel triangles, one lying above the metal atom and the other belowthe metal atom with its corners directly in line with thecorners of the first triangle. Show that the existence of twoand only two isomers of [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ is evidenceagainst both of these possible structures.
