Experimental Observation of Pentaatomic Tetracoordinate Planar Carbon-Containing Molecules
Abstract
The first neutral pentaatomic tetracoordinate planar carbon molecules, CAl 3 Si and CAl 3 Ge, as well as their anions, CAl 3 Si - and CAl 3 Ge -, were experimentally observed in the gas-phase and characterized by ab initio calculations and anion photoelectron spectroscopy. A four-center bond involving ligand−ligand interactions was found to be critical in stabilizing the planar structures of the 17-valence-electron CAl 3 Si and CAl 3 Ge and 18-valence-electron CAl 3 Si - and CAl 3 Ge - . These species violate the conventional expectation of tetrahedral structure for tetracoordinate carbon atoms and thus extend our concept of the range of chemical bonds that carbon can form.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
