What is the structure of "Mellitic trianhydride" and also provide structural information ?

Mellitic trianhydride is anhydride of Mellitic acid (Benzenhexacarboxylic acid) and it's molecular formula is C12O9.
Structural information:
All carbon are Sp2 hybridized and planer and molecule have zero dipole moment.
Their are three Sp3 and six Sp2 hybridized oxygen atom.

What is the "Suboxide" explain with examples and structures?

The compounds of oxygen contain more number of central atoms than oxygen atoms. According to valency requirements of all central atoms number of oxygen atoms are not sufficient.
For examples;
N20 (Dinitrogen oxide)
Pb3O (Tripumbulic oxide)
C3O2 (carbon suboxide)
C12O9 (Maletic anhydride or oxide) etc.
