A photoexcited triplet state germylene with a half-life of hours at room temperature
Triplet state tetrylenes posess significant potential for transforming chemically inert substrates, but their fleeting nature has limited their detection beyond low-temperature matrix environments, making the study of their physical and chemical properties...
