“ Conditions, conditions, conditions !” Prakash et al. recently described “the long‐lived trifluoromethanide anion”, thus completing a story that began decades ago. The anion can be generated in relatively large quantities and can be fully characterized by variable‐temperature NMR spectroscopy. This discovery is one in a long list of reactive intermediates isolated and characterized by the Prakash/Olah group.
