What is Planar Hexacoordinate Carbons: Half Covalent, Half Ionic about?

## Abstract Herein, the first global minima containing a planar hexacoordinate carbon (phC) atom are reported. The fifteen structures belong to the CE~3~M~3~^+^ (E=S–Te and M=Li–Cs) series and satisfy both geometric and electronic criteria to be considered as a true phC. The design strategy consisted of replacing oxygen in the D~3h~ CO~3~Li~3~^+^ structure with heavy and less electronegative chalcogens, inducing a negative charge on the C atom and an attractive electrostatic interaction between C and the alkali‐metal cations. The chemical bonding analyses indicate that carbon is covalently bonded to three chalcogens and ionically connected to the three alkali metals.
