Dioxetanedione (C2O4) needs to be added to the list of oxocarbons. Joeylawn ( talk) 03:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
The opening sentence reads, an oxocarbon is an inorganic compound consisting only of oxygen and carbon. But mellitic anhydride and other esters/anhydrides of fully-substituted benzene seem perfectly organic to me. Besides, the usual and widely accepted definition of an organic compound is that it contains at least one C-H and/or C-C bond. Zhieaanm ( talk) 09:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
