By density functional calculations a new inorganic two‐dimensional material, namely the Be 2 C monolayer, was designed. In their Communication on page 7248 ff., Y. Li, Y. Liao, and Z. Chen show that in the Be 2 C monolayer each C atom binds to six Be atoms to form a quasi‐planar hexacoordinate carbon moiety. Be 2 C is predicted to be stable and to have promising applications in electronics and optoelectronics.
