Magnesium carbide (Mg 2 C) was first suggested 20 years ago by ab initio calculations. In their Communication on page 8930 ff. , T. A. Strobel and co‐workers describe the first synthesis of this methanide through the use of high‐pressure and high‐temperature methods. The ionic binary compound contains C 4− ions, which have an extremely negative charge for carbon.
