Abstract

A few posts back, I contemplated the curly arrows appropriate for the formation of nitrosobenzene dimer from nitrosobenzene, and commented on the odd nature of the N=N double bond formed in this process.. Odd, because the valence bond representation of this dimer (1 below) has two formally positive adjacent nitrogen atoms.
