Yeah, I didn't think so either. Maybe the article misinterpreted and they mean carbons 2 and 3 on a particular molecule? Or molecules made of 2 or 3 carbons? It isn't clear. Also they wrote the molecular formula for cyanogen wrong, it should be (CN)2, CN is cyanide, very different. Mistakes like this show up in way too many science articles.
Yikes, I'd be more worried about the liquid helium being released than making a black hole. You'd die awfully quick if your precious oxygen is replaced with helium.
