Mellitic anhydride, the anhydride of mellitic acid, is an organic compound with the formula C12O9.

Mellitic anhydride is an oxide of carbon (oxocarbon), like CO2, CO, and C3O2. It is a white sublimable solid, apparently obtained by Liebig and Wöhler in 1830 in their study of mellite ("honey stone"); they assigned it the empiric formula C4O3.[2][3][4] The substance was properly characterized in 1913 by H. Meyer and K. Steiner.[5][6] It retains the aromatic character of the benzene ring.[7][8]
