Counterfeiting the prior reported [Co(TMSA)2]2 (1), [Co(TMADS)2]2 (2), whose solid state structure is illustrated in Figure , is arranged as a dimer. It exhibits two three-coordinate Co(II) ions that are bridged through two amido ligands while additionally being bonded to a terminal amido ligand each. )]. In opposition to this, the Lewis base was found to bind with only one of the imine nitrogen atoms in a monodentate fashion, while the other imine moiety was averted from the central ion (Figure ). Similarly, the dimethylamide moiety of the DMAPY ligand in complex 4,
