Hexahydroxybenzene triscarbonate is a
chemical compound
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element ...
, an oxocarbon, oxide of carbon with formula . Its molecular structure consists of a benzene core with the six hydrogen atoms replaced by three carbonate functional group, groups. It can be seen as a sixfold ester of hexahydroxybenzene (benzenehexol) and carbonic acid.
The compound was obtained by C. Nallaiah in 1984, as a tetrahydrofuran solvate.
