Cover Image on the Article: Ortho-diethynylbenzene dianion
editHello Dfcorreaoo!, Sushant editing by the user name Sushn345wiki here. I see that you visited the page that I had created and I wanter to clarify that the in the cover image (which I made), from the benzene ring, there are two pairs of Carbon atoms, and each pair has a triple (ethynyl) bond between them. Each pair bears a negative charge, so the charge from both the ethynyl groups adds up to a collective negative charge of -2.
Thank you,

- Hello, Sushant. I’m Douglas AKA Dfcorrea00. I’ve attempted to comment a number of times, so I apologize for my late response.
This is what the ethynyl groups look like: —Ξ-Θ, w/ the symbols representing a single bond, triple bond, the curious extension, & a negative charge w/in a circle.
To someone not very observant, this looks like 3 carbon atoms & a negative charge. I myself understood beforehand & confirmed w/ the image below. What I’ve been trying to say is that the image is confusing & may lead people to misinterpret the structure.
I offer 2 solutions. The 1st is to place the negative charge directly onto the triple bond’s end, IE -ΞΘ, rather than displaying as if the triply bonded carbon is ‘bonded’ to the charge, or perhaps that there’s yet another carbon to hold the charge. However, this isn’t optimal, as someone out there might think for some reason that the carbon is triply bonded to a negative charge, which might be what ypu were avoiding.
The option I mentioned in the talk page is this: Replace the skeletaly represented ethynyls w/ actual “C”s. This way, you (or anyone else) can draw -CΞCΘ for each ethynyl, removing all ambiguity.
I hope I haven’t been to rude or anything; I’m just a bit frustrated w/ attempting this response in 3 different ways & having them all disappear. So, I’m typing this on my phone w/ little regard for typos, formatting, etc.
Thank you for the advice for my page, by the way. I do actually plan on applying that! I wanted to address this & my schoolwork 1st. Dfcorrea00 (talk) 23:06, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
