title: A bifunctional strategy towards experimentally (synthetically) attainable molecules with planar tetracoordinate carbons.
abstract: 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.
