Dalton Transactions, 51(34), 12915-12920.http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32377The mechanism of carbamate activation promoted by different metal ions has been explored in this work. The reaction of the carbamate ligand H2L with chloride metal salts (M = Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) leads to the coordination of the metal ions to the ligand, causing hydrolysis of the systems. This self-immolation process results in mononuclear dihydrazone complexes, carbon dioxide and the release of alcohol species from the pendant groups of the carbamate ligand. The conditions under which this process occurs have been studied in detail.eng© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2022HydrolysisMetal ionsCarbamate2303 Química inorgánicajournal article10.1039/D2DT01622Bopen access
