The answer to the question posed by the title is no. Whereas δ( 13 C) ≈ 140 for a “free” C 2 2⊖ion, values of 206.2 and 232.1 are found for the ionic carbides CaC 2 and BaC 2 , respectively, in the solid state. Furthermore, simulation of the 13 C MAS NMR spectra shows unambiguously that the C 2 units deviate from axial symmetry. For CaC 2 , the presence of a second phase, identified from X‐ray powder patterns, was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy.
