英文摘要	Natural Science Foundation of China [20873106, 21003101]; Israel Science Foundation [ISF 53/09]; The ab initio VB study for the electronic structure of the C-2 molecule in the ground state is presented in this work. VB calculations involving 78 chemically relevant VB structures can predict the bonding energy of C-2 quite well. Sequentially, a VBCIS calculation provides spectroscopic parameters that are very close to full CI calculated values in the same basis set. Furthermore, the analysis of the bonding scheme shows that a triply bonded structure is the major one in terms of weights, and the lowest in energy at the equilibrium distance. The second structure in terms of weights is an ethylene-like structure, displaying a sigma + pi double bond. The structure with two suspended pi bonds but no sigma bond contributes only marginally to the ground state. This ordering of weights for the VB structures describing the C-2 molecule is shown to be consistent with the shape of the molecular orbitals and with the multireference character of the ground state. With the triply bonded bonding scheme, the natures of the pi and sigma bonds are investigated, and then the corresponding "in situ" bond strengths are estimated. The contribution of the covalent-ionic resonance energy to pi and sigma bonding is revealed and discussed.
