A homonuclear diatomic molecule $C_{2}$ $C_2$ can be observed........

Explanation:

It is not something you could put in a bottle, but the homonuclear diatomic, $C_{2}$ $C_2$ , has been observed spectroscopically. I think this molecule has a bond order of $2$ $2$ , i.e. $: C = C :$ $:C=C:$ , so it is relatively stable. It would need quite elevated temperatures to enable its observation.
