CaC₂ is an insulating ionic crystal. However, Y₂Br₂C₂, which can be described as containing C₂^4- ions, is metallic in two dimensions and becomes superconducting at 5K. Describe the possible electronic structure of C₂^4-. In the crystal, monoclinic crystal symmetry leads to distortion of the Y₆ surrounding structure. How might this change the electronic structure of the ion?
