  Bicarbonate is also organic.

    i wouldn’t say that bicarbonate or carbonate are organic, as derivatives of carbon dioxide. protonation state shouldn’t change if compound is organic or not

    neither is CN-, HCN, HOCN, metal carbonyls, oxalates or oxalic acid. i’d say that phosgene, urea and CCl4 are organic. same goes for higher homologs (HSCN, thiourea, thiophosgene, CS2 and so on)
