“…Following optimization [260], allowing the reaction to be conducted in dimethylformamide and not in neat isocyanate, more than 60 different Pt(IV) species were thus prepared, arousing interest as possible anticancer agents (see Reaction of an amine with a metal carboxyl complex (Scheme 18e). Another type of synthesis comprises the reactions of amines (or N-donors in general) with a metal carboxyl complex, i.e., bicarbonate [269], formate [270,271], carbonate ester [272] or a CO2 adduct directly [273]. As an example, the intramolecular attack of an amine group belonging to a tetradentate pyridylamine ligand onto a Zn(II)-HCO3 species resulted in carbamate generation [269] (Scheme 26a).…”
