"I sat in my supervisor’s office, red-faced and anxious, words tumbling out faster than I could control. For half an hour, I vented everything I had been holding in for months: the stress, the doubt, the sense that I didn’t belong. I was in the third year of my Ph.D., and a creeping fear had taken root that I wasn’t cut out for academia.
"I expected some kind of judgment or disappointment. Instead, my supervisor listened patiently, then calmly offered a line I’ll never forget: 'You are here to learn to ride a bicycle, not to invent a bicycle.' That one sentence landed softly, but it cracked something open."

In @NatureSynthesis, we provide our perspective on the blossoming of organo-TT chemistry since 2019. From fundamentals to applications, we explain how the thianthrenium substituent enables chemistry that in part goes beyond that of other (pseudo)halides.
