The octahedral structure is not the only possible six-coordinate structure. Other possibilities include a planar hexagonal structure, and a triangular prism structure. In the latter, the ligands are arranged in two parallel triangles, one lying above and the other below the metal atom with their corners aligned in the same directions (the lecture notes has pictures of this geometry). Show that the existence of two and only two isomers of [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ is evidence against both of these structures
