If by C-4 you mean the plastic explosive then your not actually dealing with a single compound but a mixture. The primary ingredient in C-4 is RDX and the chemical equation for that is (CH2-N-NO2)3

This is impossible, because the compound does NOT exist.

On the contrary the index-reversed formula C3H4 is the one for compound named propadiene H2C=C=CH2

or maybe C4H4 is meant: butatrieen H2C=C=C=CH2

C4 is RDX (cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine), which makes up around 91% of C4 by mass. The plasticizer is diethylhexyl (5.3%) or dioctyl sebacate and the binder is usually polyisobutylene (2.1%). Another plasticizer used is dioctyl adipate (DOA). A small amount of SAE 10 non-detergent motor oil (1.6%) is also added. C4 is manufactured by combining the noted ingredients with binder dissolved in a solvent. The solvent is then evaporated and the mixture dried and filtered. The final material is an off-white solid with a texture similar to modelling clay.
