Jan 17, 2018 at 19:11 comment added andselisk @Martin-マーチン I can tell:) But why is it so, if I may ask? Is it because the bond order is often fractional and the integer values denoted via multiple-stick bonds bother you?
Jan 17, 2018 at 19:04 comment added Martin - マーチン @andselisk Yes, there is: I prefer it that way. In all my pictures you'll never see me use a double or even triple rod.
Jan 17, 2018 at 18:52 comment added Geoff Hutchison "Rotated" double bonds (i.e., so-called "tictoid" $\pi$ conjugation) is a known, accepted way to increase bond length in conjugated systems. ;-)
Jan 17, 2018 at 18:17 comment added andselisk Great insightful answer! I'm wondering is there a good reason that the bond is shown with a single stick?
