A curiously short carbon–carbon double bond?

Abstract

The discrepancy between the ‘curiously short’ carbon–carbon double bond distance in 3-ethynylcyclopropene, as measured experimentally by X-ray analysis [1.255(2) Å], compared with the value derived from high level ab initio calculations (ca. 1.28 Å), is largely due to neglect of corrections for molecular motion in the crystal.
