ALT The image depicts a living room theme where the TV displays a structure of a low valent yttrium(II) complex as breaking news on OmC news channel.The wall has a painting that shows the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of a metal radical, while a floor rug with CV design adds an elegant touch.The flower vase features d-orbital shaped flowers with "d1" written on the box. Two starting materials, trimethylacetonitrile and t-butyl isocyanide, are lying on the wooden rack below the TV, and they react with the molecule on the TV to give Yttrium isocyanide. The final product is neatly arranged on a coffee table in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. Several books on organometallic chemistry are lying around, and the clock shows a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius at which the molecule is stable. A coffee mug with the initials of the artist/student and a cute cat lounging in the room add a homey vibe
