Do molecules outside the brackets contribute to the coordination number? Like in [Co(NH3)4(NO2)Cl]Cl
Would the coordination number be 6 or 7?
Thanks !

Re: Coordination numbers [ENDORSED]
No, the coordination number comes from molecules inside the coordination compound. So the Cl on the outside of the brackets would not be counted.
