Unusual coordination compounds : It has long been postulated that well‐known and important reactions of tertiary amides such as C‐N cleavage [Eq. (1)] and cis – trans isomerization [Eq. (2)] may proceed via nitrogen‐coordinated metal complexes. We report the first evidence for a well‐defined structure‐function relationship in these unusual compounds.
