Abstract

The criticism expressed by Frenking and Hermann on the notion of quadruple bonding in C₂ is answered using hard facts. Both experimental and computational data gauge the strength of the fourth bond as 16kcal mol ^-1. The authors agree that chemical research goes profitably beyond "synthetic" chemistry.
