Go Aggies! Go Chemikers ! The word “gig” applies to a multipronged metal tool for hunting frogs and fish. It constitutes part of a rallying cry, “gig ’em” that inspires Texas A&M Aggies to victory in athletic and academic competitions. This Highlight examines recent victories in the C. . . . . _ C cleavage of benzene made possible by a four‐pronged iridium gig that yields a “spring‐loaded” norbornadiene‐like structure with significant ring strain.
