40 years ago, Sussex Professor the late Sir Harry Kroto FRS made one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century: C60, or Buckminsterfullerene. The breakthrough won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, with his legacy living on across the world and at Sussex.

Spearheaded by the Reinholdt group (Lund), we find that the elusive P≡N molecule finds new life in an Os complex and unlocks unique [NPS₂]²⁻, [NPCl]⁻, and aromatic [PN₄]⁻ species.
