“…Thus, a range of nucleophilic reagents, including neutral N -heterocyclic carbenes [ 25 , 26 ], are known to react with CO 2 even under mild conditions, and some chemistry at transition metal centers is provided by the possibility of CO 2 insertion into the bond between a metal atom and a suitable anionic ligand, e.g., alkyl, allyl, alkoxide and hydride [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. In this context, amines are key reactants towards carbon dioxide, and indeed carbon dioxide/amine systems have been intensively investigated in the field of capture/storage [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] and exploited for the incorporation of the CO 2 moiety within organic structures [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Furthermore, CO 2 is also prone to insertion reactions into a variety of metal-amide bonds, generating a carbamato ligand; however, metal complexes containing carbamato ligands are easily available through diverse synthetic routes not requiring the use of pressurized CO 2 .…”
