β¦ Synopsis
Multireference configuration interaction wave functions with single and double excitations were calculated for the ' Z; ground state of the C, molecule and the excited states of C z with symmetries ' 2:. ' 2 ; , 211u, and 211x. The corresponding ug, uu, T,,
and vx valence Dyson orbitals were calculated. Most of the density due to the valence electrons is accounted for by three ux, one a,, and one degenerate pair of nu Dyson orbitals. Electron correlation plays an important role in the bond strength of C, by increasing the occupation of the ug valence orbitals and decreasing the occupation of the u, and T,, valence orbitals.
