Detailed Solution

The IUPAC name of Co(en)2Cl2Cl is dichlorobis( ethylenediamine )cobalt(III) chloride.

It is a water-soluble violet diamagnetic solid. The two additional chlorides in this salt are bonded to the metal core, making them less reactive than the one chloride ion that is easily exchanged.
