trans-Dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride is a salt with the formula [CoCl₂(en)₂]Cl (en = ethylenediamine). It is a green diamagnetic solid that is soluble in water. It is the monochloride salt of the cationic coordination complex [CoCl₂(en)₂]⁺. One chloride ion in this salt readily undergoes ion exchange but the two other chlorides are less reactive, being bound to the metal center. The more stable cis-dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride is also known.
