In this issue of Chem, Inoue and co-workers uncover distinct migratory insertion, oxidative addition, and reductive elimination steps at a single silicon center during the activation of aryl isocyanides (Ar–NC) by an acyclic imino(silyl)silylene; thus, this work offers a peak into the future use of silicon in catalysis.

缩小过渡金属和硅之间的催化反应活性差距

在本期《Chem 》中，Inoue 及其同事揭示了在无环亚氨基（甲硅烷基）亚甲硅烷基活化芳基异氰化物 (Ar-NC) 过程中，单个硅中心的独特迁移插入、氧化加成和还原消除步骤；因此，这项工作为未来硅在催化中的应用提供了一个高峰。
