A milestone in main‐group chemistry : Elusive heavy methylene analogues :EH 2 (E=Ge and Sn) were tamed to give isolable species. This feat was achieved by applying the concept of donor–acceptor stabilization: concomitant coordination of a transition metal or monoborane as a Lewis acid and of an N‐heterocyclic carbene as a Lewis base (see scheme).
