Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>Kinetically stable methylidene complexes</bold> </italic> of zirconium and hafnium were prepared through photolysis‐induced α‐H abstraction from the corresponding complexes with aryloxide and two methyl ligands. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 10913 ff., </ext-link> D. J. Mindiola and co‐workers describe their quest for a kinetically more resistant system (structure on top of the compass) by taking advantage of prior systems (old map with drawings), thus finding the target molecule (inside the treasure chest).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1f8ffxqj" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
