Illuminating new research offers chemists a simple and mild method for making arynes—a challenging type of strained molecule. Using a new precursor activated by blue light, researchers were able to access elusive aryne intermediates. cen.acs.org/synthesis/re... #chemsky 🧪
Let there be light-activated arynes
Making these strained intermediates just got easier, thanks to new precursors that react in the presence of blue light

Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex - pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
So proud to congratulate first author Leon Gomm for his first paper in JACS. Thanks to Hui Zhu and Stefan Grimme for the ever helpful DFT calculations. @unibonn.bsky.social
Reversible C–H Bond Activation of Unactivated Arenes by a Nickel-Silylene Complex
A nickel-silylene complex is shown to reversibly activate benzene via C–H bond activation at ambient temperature. The benzene C–H bond formally adds across the Ni–Si core to form a nickel-silyl comple...
