Metal detector : A bowl‐shaped nanomolecule (see picture; S yellow, C gray, Zn blue) containing an unprecedented 16‐atom [ZnC 3 ] 4 “anti‐crown” ring has been unearthed by isolating a dizincated 2‐substituted thiophene intermediate that would normally be hidden in tandem functionalization methodology.
