Английская Википедия:Cyclobutanetetrone
Cyclobutanetetrone, also called tetraoxocyclobutane, is an organic compound[1] with formula C4O4 or (CO)4, the fourfold ketone of cyclobutane. It would be an oxide of carbon, indeed a tetramer of carbon monoxide.
The compound seems to be thermodynamically unstable.[2] As of 2000, it had yet to be synthesized in significant amounts[3][4] but may have transient existence as detected by mass spectrometry.[5]
