'Becoming' !
Is science getting too competitive?

Grant applications are skyrocketing and funding rates are decreasing.

Yet the article in Nature fails to mention the potential role that AI/LLMs in driving up grant applications.

It's becoming a lottery.

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...
