Dicarbon monoxide (C2O) is an extremely reactive molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. It is covalently bonded. It is an intermediate in the photolysis of carbon suboxide.[1][2] It is closely related to CO, CO2 and C3O2, and other oxocarbons.
- C3O2 → CO + C2O
It is stable enough to observe reactions with NO and NO2.[3]
