Unstable even in solution is how Neidlein described diisocyanomethane, which has been known for over 30 years. Now this compound, the only geminal diisocyanide known (crystal structure depicted on the right), has been isolated by fractional condensation. The compound can be stabilized by coordination to transition metal complex fragments.
