“…Indeed, [Ti(O 2 CNMe 2 ) 4 ], the first carbamato complex to be reported, was obtained by exhaustive carbonation of the N , N -dimethylamido complex of titanium(IV), Ti(NMe 2 ) 4 [ 122 ]. Since then, the M(NR 2 ) n /CO 2 route has been successfully employed in the preparation of homoleptic complexes of the main group metals [ 42 , 123 ], early transition elements [ 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 ], uranium(IV) and thorium(IV) [ 132 ]. In 2010, Kennedy et al applied this methodology to obtain Li + , Na + and K + 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TMP) carbamates [ 133 ].…”
