The ability of nickel to cleave strong σ‐bonds is again in the spotlight after a recent report that demonstrates the feasibility of using nickel complexes to promote decarbonylation of diaryl ketones. This transformation involves the cleavage of two strong C−C(O) bonds and avoids the use of noble metals, hence reinforcing the potential of decarbonylation as a technique for forging C−C bonds.
