Organosilicon compounds meet subatomic physics: Muon spin resonance.
Silylenes, germylenes and silenes react with muonium atoms, produced from muons generated at a particle accelerator. The resulting radicals can be studied by muon spin resonance spectroscopy, providing unique information about their structure and reactivity.
