In chemistry furantetracarboxylic acid is an organic compound with formula C8H4O9 or (C4O)(-(CO)OH)4 which can be viewed as deriving from furan C4H4O through replacement of the four hydrogen atoms by carboxyl functional groups -(CO)OH. By removal of four protons the acid is expected to yield the anion C8O4−9 furantetracarboxylate which is one of the oxocarbon anions (consisting solely of oxygen and carbon.
