20 years after the synthesis of HC₅N, we've unlocked the synthesis of HC₇N, another interstellar cyanopolyyne, using a cobalt complex and a silylated protecting group: chemistry-europe.onlinelibra… Huge congrats to 1st author Léa Lefrançois @Lea_stro_ ! 👏👏👏 @chimie_ISCR

Just out: Our pitfalls warning on NICS with examples on incorrect use of this (anti)aromaticity descriptor leading to false identification of "aromaticity" and "antiaromaticity". A heroic contribution by @Wengivis. Check: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
