Four of the best : Reaction of dimethylzinc with isopropyl carbodiimide at elevated temperature occurs with CC bond formation and subsequent formation of polynuclear zinc amidinate complexes (see picture for tetranuclear complex, whose ligand is formed by the coupling of four carbodiimide ligands). Such a reaction is without precedent in amidinate chemistry.
