Co(NH3)4Cl2+ plus whatever anion counterion. There are actually two such cobalt ions, cis and trans. In the cis, the two Cl's are next to one another on an edge of the octahedron. In the trans, they are on opposite vertices of the octahedron.

tetra amine means you have 4 NH3 groups attached and di chloro means you have 2 chlorines attached to your metal. Because the cobolt has an oxidation state of +3 you need 3 negatively charged chloride ions to fulfill electric neutrality.
[Co(NH3)4(Cl)2]Cl3

[Co(NH3)4Cl2]+
nh3 is neutral, each cl carries a negative charge, Co(III) is +3 charge -2(1) +3 = +1 (+)
