The diamagnetic correction for [Co(ox)3]4- is calculated by summing the individual diamagnetic contributions of each atom and ligand. Since the correction is 28 x 10^6 c.g.s, we can use this value to calculate the effective magnetic moment (μeff) for the complex using the spin-only formula: μeff = √n(n+2) BM, where n is the number of unpaired electrons. The diamagnetic correction is subtracted from the experimentally measured magnetic moment to determine μeff.
