CoCl3 is the chemical formula.
Common oxidation states of cobalt include +2 and +3, so possible chlorides are: CoCl2 and CoCl3 , but the last one is rare.
(CoF3 (Co(III)-fluoride) is a better possibillity to prove this oxidation state)
Maximum oxidation state is +5, though Cobalt can easily 'coordinate' with in total 6 coordinative groups (=CG) and negative ions: Co(CG)4Cl2 (a coordinative group migh be a < -N| >-atom group of ammonia, ethylenediamine or haemoglobin)
