this acid would be pretty crazy if anyone could make it. Would high pressure induce its formation? maybe then it could exist in the sea depths.

you don't need a citation for where it says 'citation needed.' any chemist sees this as a painfully obvious statement.

Removal of alternate name "Hitler's acid"

I did some digging, and Google doesn't return any results for "Hitler's acid" acid until 2016. The first usage was on a Russian education/pop sci website in a listicle about space factoids, referencing a then-recent computational chem paper (DOI: 10.1038/srep32486) that claimed orthocarbonic acid could possibly form deep in Uranus or Neptune. I can post the link to the listicle but I'm not sure if it'll get flagged as spam since it's a .ru domain and I don't have a Wikipedia account. There is no publication date or author on the website, but Google has it dated Jan. 20, 2016.

Scifinder didn't return any results for "Hitler's acid" when I searched, but it did return 143 results for "orthocarbonic acid." It looks like the name just spontaneously emerged one day and gets circulated periodically as a pop science factoid. I'm removing the alternate name because nobody has ever seriously used it. The German Wikipedia page for this molecule has removed the ball-and-stick model render as well. 172.126.55.24 (talk) 21:10, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reference error

I wanted to add a reference for an experimental synthesis of calcium orthocarbonate, but the reference contains an error and I cannot resolve it. Please help. Olthe3rd1 (talk) 02:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
