Reply to the 'Comment on 'Theoretical analysis of the oxocarbons: structure and spectroscopic properties of croconate ion and its coordination compound with lithium'', by M. C. C. Ribeiro and A. O. Cavalcante, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2002, 4, 2917

摘要

Oxocarbons constitute a class of compounds with interesting properties, being the subject of many studies dealing with structure, aromaticity and spectroscopy. Despite the extensive literature on oxocrbons, theoretical works are still sparse.
