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.
加油，阿基里斯！加油，化学家们！“gig”这个词适用于一种用于猎捕青蛙和鱼类的多叉金属工具。它是一句加油口号的一部分，即“gig 'em”，激励着德克萨斯 A&M 大学 Aggies 在体育和学术竞赛中取得胜利。这篇重点介绍了最近通过一个四叉铱 Gig 实现的 C....._ C 键在苯裂解方面的胜利，该 Gig 产生了一种类似于“弹簧加载”的降冰片二烯结构，具有显著的环应变。
