| I do know about the hybridization theory and I do know about the VSEPR theory, and that according to bond angles it is very unlikely for carbon to bond to other atom with a quadruple bond. This would require much energy to synthesize and if done, it would not be stable, but, is there any "natural occuring", carbon-containing molecule where carbon forms a quadruple bond? i dont mean for the second or third period elements, but for heavier elements, where their electron densities are much more flexible and exceptions to bonding theory are unlimited. I would appreciate any kind of help/guidance on this topic. Another thing, does any one of you know about any freeware out there as powerful as Chem3D or Gaussian software? the key thing here is: it needs to be free! Thank you, Yuri Sylvester -- Paul J.
