>it doesnt even mention pentavalent carbon anywhere in the text
they just made a careless mistake when they were drawing that for some gay popsci site. If it was actual pentavalent carbon, that, and not their gay nanocar would be the sensation.
>carbonium
not actual pentavalent carbon and even if it was, it would be a completely different thing from pentavalent carbon for no reason in a random molecule, plus ridiculous strain.
