Abstract
Quantum-mechanical calculations at the Hartee-Fock and MP2 level of theory using various basis sets predict that the CC interatomic distances are nearly identical (rC2C3 = 1.396 Å, rC3C4 = 1.398 Å). This is at variance with the results of a combined electron diffraction and microwave study, which suggest that the C2C3 bond is longer (1.413 Å) than the C3C4 bond (1.384 Å).
