A bifunctional strategy towards experimentally (synthetically) attainable molecules with planar tetracoordinate carbons.
Bifunctional strategy, including efficiently utilizing valence electrons and offering steric protection, has been proposed to advance C(2)Al(4) global minimum with double planar tetracoordinate carbons (ptC) to a new family of ptC molecules which could be promising for synthetic realization.
