because it is tough for carbon to make ionic bond.it needs a lot of energy to do so and only covalent bond is used by carbon to share its bonds

As Carbon has 4 electron in its valence shell.
To complete the octet carbon needs to get 4 electron or losing of 4 electron. But Carbon doesn't do any of the above method as it is not possible to remove 4 electron as it requires tremendous amount of energy. Neither it can take 4 electrons to complete it's octet.
Hence carbon make only covalent compounds.
Therefore C4- is not possible.
