The Quadruple Bonding in C2 Reproduces the Properties of the Molecule

Ever since Lewis depicted the triple bond for acetylene, triple bonding has been considered as the highest limit of multiple bonding for main elements. Here we show that C2 is bonded by a quadruple bond that can be distinctly characterized by valence‐bond (VB) calculations. We demonstrate that the q...
