Disubstituted carbon species, specifically carbenes (“CR2”) and their metal complexes, drive innovation across synthesis, catalysis, materials science, and medicine. In stark contrast, the corresponding carbynes (“CR”) and carbides (“C”) remain curiosity compounds or elusive entities. In fact, C1, C3 and to some extent C2 transfer generally remains a pressing challenge in the molecular sciences, while the controlled synthesis of carbon allotropes represents a millenial challenge. CARB2MOL seeks to achieve this mission by introducing sustainable solid-state materials, namely abundant ionic carbides, as resources for molecules. Solubilized, and thus molecularized, aluminium, calcium and…
