Answer:
Many different carbon ions exist in the gas phase.
In Electronic spectra of linear carbon anions, spectra of C2−, C3−... C10− are discussed.
Dianions such as C72− have also been observed.
In the solid phase, aluminum carbide and berylium carbide have more than 50% ionic character according to the Handbook of Refractory carbides and nitrides, and correspond to C4−. Calcium carbide, which could be considered a salt of acetylene, corresponds to C22− rather than C2−
