The taming of the shrew : If the familiar method of stabilizing small reactive molecules in the coordination sphere of transition‐metal complexes fails, an inverse approach is recommended: Clasp the elusive particle, (P≡N), with two nucleophilic singlet carbenes and tame it (see mesomeric limiting structures; Dipp=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl).
