Solution

There are few compounds that contains such unusual composition. like C3O2 which is called as carbon suboxide which has following formula

O=C=C=C=O

But generally such compounds are not very common because around each small C-atom, the electron cloud become so high that they repel each other and molecule becomes unstable.
