A rareether-bridged cobalt complex which gives rise to an unusual 'serpentine' metal-ligand binding motif

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/b208221g

An unusual metal-ligand binding motif is found in dimeric cobalt(II) complexes coordinated by diamidoether ligands that bridge the metals in a 'serpentine' fashion through the ether donors of the ligand backbone rather than the amido groups.
