Nickel benzoate
What do you think? Has anyone tried this?

My best guess is that those claims come from some negligible literature results, at least on the productive scale. Whoever reported that probably ran
the combustion or TGA fumes through a GC-MS and identified all those molecules in traces.
Sure, if you heat to decomposition Ni benzoate you probably can find a couple ppm of biphenyl in the fumes, but that's miles away from being a
productive route. If it was that simple, biphenyl wouldn't be that expensive, for one thing.

Did you use a vacuum? I'm pretty sure that's a viable synthetic method (though undoubtedly low-yielding).
