Abstract
In response to the comment by Frenking and Hermann on our work in this journal (Chem. Eur J. 2016, 22, 4116) it is is shown once again that C2 has a quadruple bond with three strong bonds and one weaker exo-bond. All other bonding forms are less stable.Keywords: C2; bond order; bond strength; bonding analysis; promotion energy; quadruple bonds; valence bonds
