What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Genuine fundamental advance (first bottle-stable, ligand-exchangeable dinuclear Ni(I) source) with a credible primary publication and an open ChemRxiv preprint, but it sits at TRL ~3-4 with no quantitative public benchmarks distilled into press materials and no off-the-shelf availability.
Next
Monitor for a commercial vendor SKU (Sigma/Strem-type listing) and an independent peer benchmark reproducing the low-loading Kumada/Suzuki/Buchwald-Hartwig claims with reported mol% and TON; the open-access ChemRxiv preprint can be mined for the loading tables in the interim.
