The diamagnetic correction for [Co(ox)₃]⁴⁻ would be determined by the diamagnetic contributions of each individual atom in the complex. This includes the cobalt(II) ion and the oxalate ligands. The correction is typically applied to magnetic susceptibility measurements to account for the diamagnetic contributions of the electron cloud. It is usually a small correction, but it can be important for accurate measurements.
