We've successfully stabilized σ0π2 carbene for the first time. Grateful for the @SUSTechSZ updates. Big thanks to Prof. Liu @LLL_lab_SUSTech for the strong support, and appreciation to Xinfeng, Jiancheng and Xiaoyong for the assistance. #carbene

Excited to share our new work published in @angew_chem!
We report the first isolable donor–acceptor-stabilized Si–E–Si trimetallylenes (E = Ge, Sn, Pb), exhibiting NIR absorption and enabling access to Ge(I) and Sn(I) radical anions.

Hot off the press @NatureChemistry: we extend σ⁰π² carbenes to a neutral system, showing H₂ activation via a σ-face pathway near the least-motion limit. Congrats Fei, Haoxiang, Miaomiao & thanks to editors and reviewers! https://t.co/h5zAWXvnNU
Aluminum: lightest p-block metal with very low electronegativity. Converting Al(III) to Al(I) in stoichiometric reactions is rare. But now, we've made Al redox catalysis a reality! Check it out @nature

Second one online @ Acc. Chem. Res. in 2025. We summarize our journey with carbyne anion and related low-valent carbon chemistry. https://t.co/VxdW4OZn4Q
