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... https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.5c10922
