on some level, all carbenes are kinda insane. but hexaphenylcarbodiphosphorane (technically a carbone) might just be the most insane of all. Formally neutral with not one but _two_ lone pairs??? GTFOH

Carbenes in Space? New Discovery Could Explain Life’s Cosmic Origins

Chemists have developed a method to create carbenes from methanol, enhancing our understanding of molecular formation crucial to life. A team of chemists led by the University of Maryland has developed a new method for creating carbenes, a class of highly reactive yet notoriously short-lived and

Researchers shed light on how key ingredient for life may form in space

A team led by University of Maryland chemists discovered a new way to create carbenes, a class of highly reactive yet notoriously short-lived and unstable molecules. Involved in many high-energy chemical reactions such as the creation of carbohydrates, carbenes are crucial precursors to the building blocks of life on Earth—and possibly in space.
