My friend was drawing random chemical bonds and may have discovered something.

So far cyclobutadiene derivatives are stabilized in argon matrix or through complexex eg C

I think I see two trivalent carbon atoms.

So do I. Formally structure is correct. Thial (CHS) group is extremely reactive, and as I previously mentioned cyclobutadienyl grup is extremely unstable.

In theory it is correct, it even has a name 2-(cyclobuta-1,3-dien-1-ylcarbonothioyl)-4-thioxo-2-(2-thioxoethyl)butanal, but it has so many highly unstable groups that it is most likely impossible to synthesize.

I am known to be occasionally wrong.

Besides, just drawing some correct combination of atoms hardly counts as "discovery".
It is not that difficult to write a program that will generate infinite number of such structures. Would you call its output "discoveries"?
