C−H Borylation of arenes has been a subject of great interest recently because of its atom‐economy and the wide applicability of borylated products in value‐added synthesis. A new bis(silylene)cobalt(II) complex bearing a bis(N‐heterocyclic silylene)‐pyridine pincer ligand (SiNSi) has been synthesiz...
