@JensBeckmann16 Schneiders Pt Nitrene is not the only experimentally obtained nitrene with a triplet ground state, they also published another one with Pd... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
@JensBeckmann16 On the one hand ... this is stunning! On the other, I lectured the undergrads that there are no stable nitrenes. Oops.
@JensBeckmann16 Well this is one for the textbooks! Congratulations!
