Trouble with hooks in chemfig

I am trying to construct this EDTA molecule coordinated to a metal:
and this is what I have so far:
With this code:
chemfig
O=[2,,]C
(-[3,2,,1]CH_2-[1,,1]N
(-[7,,,2]H_2C-[0,,]C
(=[7,,]O)
(-[1,,]O^-))
(-[4,,,2]H_2C-[2,,2,2]H_2C-[0,,]N
(-[1,,,2]H_2C-[0,,2]C
(=[1,,]O)
(-[7,,]O^-))
(-[3,,,2]H_2C-[1,2,2]C
(=[2,,]O)
(-[7,,]O^-))))
(-[1,,]O^-)
What I can't figure out how to do is include the metal in the center. I know I have to use hooks somehow but I don't know where to start. Would I have to start over and begin the figure at the metal?
Bonus question: how do I change the color of the bonds to the metal?

Placing the M is rather straightforward: use chemmove, which produces an overlay tikzpicture and then e.g. the calc syntax. What I find more difficult is to reproduce the bond styles. I ended up looking up the definitions and then to repeat what I think they do. (EDIT: Minor fine-tuning, big thanks to AndréC for pushing me.)

The vertical line from one O- to the other is not well centered, it is slightly too far to the left.

@AndréC One can either have a vertical line or a centered line in the OP's setup. If one makes the C--H_2C lines a bit longer, it is better centered.

Unfortunately I can't get this to work properly. Can this be used in a figure environment?

@Antidisestablishmentarianism You have to compile twice to get the right placement!
