Dioxetanedione

Dioxetanedione (C2O4) needs to be added to the list of oxocarbons.Joeylawn (talk) 03:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the tip! --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 07:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Organic or inorganic?

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)[reply]
