The two earth‐abundant metals zinc and nickel enable the formation of new C(sp 3 )−C(sp 2 ) bonds under irradiation with visible light. In their Communication on page 8473 ff., J. Alcázar and co‐workers describe how these reaction conditions lead to a direct acceleration of the well‐known nickel‐catalyzed Negishi cross‐coupling without requiring the addition of an exogenous photosensitizer.
