A heteroleptic benzylcalcium complex decomposes by means of C–H activation (see picture), a reaction typical for d0-metal complexes. This finding closes the gap between the chemistry of the heavier alkaline-earth and the early d- and f-block metals. The product, a dimeric calcium complex, was characterized by X-ray crystallography.
