Someone just tagged this as an organic compound stub, but that's debatable on both counts. I put it in Category:Inorganic carbon compounds because it lacks carbon-hydrogen bonds, and on analogy with cyanogen and carbon suboxide. I don't think it's a stub either, because it's not "so incomplete that an editor who knows little or nothing about the topic could improve its content after a superficial Web search or a few minutes in a reference library". — Keenan Pepper 00:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
In my opinion, it would qualify as an Organic compound, as it probably cannot be made by inorganic means, like direct combination of carbon and nitrogen.
Carbon Tetrachloride is organic although it contains no hydrogen.

It seemed fine to me, but someone replaced it with a table with a bunch of formatting information and visible xs. — Keenan Pepper 16:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Isn't the "alternating single and triple bonds" thing wrong? Surely they are delocalised bonds with some electron sharing? I remember doing an exercise on a molecule that was H-C=C-C=C-C=C-C=C-C=C-C=C-H and all the bonds were 1.5 bonds if you do it with schrodinger equation, molecular orbitals etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ucgajhe ( talk • contribs) .
Ugh. How weasely. I would rephrase that, but perhaps it might be better to say what sorts of things about Titan meteorology can be discovered due to C4N2 condensesation? 69.11.4.75 ( talk) 04:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Is it not stable? Videos or photos by a chemist would be amazing.
