The correct order of the stoichiometries of formed when in excess is treated with the complexes: , , , respectively, is:
1 , 3 , 2
3 , 1 , 2
3 , 2 , 1
2 , 3 , 1
According to Werner's theory, the central metal ion (Cobalt, ) has a fixed secondary valency (coordination number) of 6. Species inside the coordination sphere are non-ionisable, while halide ions outside the sphere are ionisable and precipitate with .
