Nature Chemistry, Published online: 28 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02153-2Triplet tetrylenes are typically too short-lived for detailed investigation. Now a triplet germylene with a 14-h half-life at 25 °C has been generated through photoexcitation of a germylene compound, enabling spectroscopic characterization and probing of its reactivity.
