Notes:
Analysis of the topological properties of the electron density distribution of cis-1,2-dinitrosoethene (I) shows that there is a normal covalent, albeit very long, single bond between the nitrogen atoms in the molecule, which is in fact the di-N-oxide of 1,2-diazacyclobutadiene (II). Despite its extraordinary length, the N—N bond is shown to be consistent with the strong correlation between the electron density at the bond critical points and the calculated bond lengths of N—N bonds. The geometry and electronic structure exhibit a number of remarkable features.
