The title salt, [K(C(18)H(36)N(2)O(6))][Co(C(2)H(4))(4)], is one of only two known homoleptic ethyl-enemetalates. The cation and anion are well separated, which gives an unperturbed tetra-hedral anion as is expected for a formally Co(-I)d(10) metal center. The considerable elongation of the C=C bonds of the ethyl-ene ligands [average 1.401 (6) Å], relative to that of free ethyl-ene (1.333 Å), is consistent with metal→π* back-bonding models. One arm of the 2.2.2-cryptand (4,7,13,16,21,24-hexa-oxa ...[more]
