On the threshold of stability

On the threshold of stability

Roth discusses carbenes, which are short-lived compounds containing a highly reactive carbon atom, making them difficult to study. However, the development of a stabilized derivative carbon atom may lead scientists to the discovery of new magnetic materials.
