Dicarbon monoxide. Wikipedia is shockingly poor in information about it, but "stable" is certainly not the first word I'd use to describe it.

Alternatively for a full octet on every atom, oxiryne, which does not exist and does not have a wiki page. It's basically acetylene with its arms chopped off and the stumps dislocated, bent back, and stapled together with an oxygen atom.
