Planar hexacoordinate carbon

Planar hexacoordinate carbon

Planar hexacoordinate carbon in chemistry describes a molecular geometry featuring a planar arrangement of carbon with six surrounding atoms. No actual chemical compounds having this particular hexacoordinate configuration have been reported but quantum mechanical methods have demonstrated that these molecules are a possibility.[1][2] [3] Examples of molecules investigated with computational methods are the B6C dianion,[2][4] the CN3Be3+ ion ,the CO3Li3+ ion [5] and the CN3Mg3+ ion. [6] A simulated B2C monolayer is reported to consist of quasi-planar hexacoordinate carbon atoms. [7]
