Carbenes can do better than metals : Phosphorus mononitride transition‐metal complexes have never been isolated, but a PN fragment capped by two bulky, strongly electron‐releasing singlet carbenes can be prepared at room temperature (see picture; P red, N blue, C gray). The one‐electron oxidation produced the corresponding stable radical cation.
