Dear student
Electronic configuration of Co = 3d74s2
Oxidation state of Co= +3
This complex is found to be Diamagnetic and to account this ,two electrons in 3d orbitals are paired up leaving two 3d orbitals empty.then these Six vacant orbitals( two 3d ,one 4s, and three 4p orbitals) hybridise to form six vacant d2sp3 hybrid orbitals.
Thus complex has octahedral geometry and is diamagnetic.
