This paradigm of tetrahedral four-coordinate carbon appeared absolute for many years. Nevertheless, chemists have long been fascinated with the concept that compounds exhibiting a planar four-coordinate carbon geometry might be found (II).[2] Nearly a hundred years after van t Hoff s proposal, planar four-coordinate carbon became more seriously considered after Hoffmann described a theoretical model for this geometry in which an sp2-hybridized carbon forms two two-electron-two-center (2e, 2c) bonds and a twoelectron-three-center (2e, 3c) bond to the four substituents (III).[3] For the simplest example, methane, the tetrahedral geometry is more stable relative to the planar form by about 530 kJ molÀ1.[3, 4] Therefore, to experimentally realize planar four-coordinate carbon, various strategies to impose a planar four-coordinate geometry have been pursued, and of these, organometallic derivatives have delivered the most significant advances.[5]For genuine methanes, vonSchleyer showed theoretically [6] and experimentally [7] that the sequential replacement of hydrogen atoms with alkali metals results in an increase in the stabilization of planar four-coordinate methanes. Furthermore, for disubstituted methane derivatives, such as H2CLi2, the trans-planar form (IV) was found to be destabilized by about 125 kJmolÀ1 relative to the cis-planar form (V).[6] Although the linear 2e, 3c π orbital in the trans
