The reactions described by D. J. H. Emslie et al. in their Communication on page 6223 ff. start with manganese and hydrogen, and sequentially introduce silicon and carbon, provided by the inukshuk in the foreground, a stone landmark used by peoples of the Arctic region, including northern Canada. In the background is “Hounds Tooth” in British Columbia (Canada), with two silylene hydride molecules climbing towards the core of the final product, a silene hydride complex.
