Following on from a search for long C-C bonds, here is the same repeated for C=C double bonds.

Mesomeric resonance in substituted benzenes: a crystallographic reality check.
Wednesday, August 26th, 2015Previously, I showed how conjugation in dienes and diaryls can be visualised by inspecting bond lengths as a function of torsions. Here is another illustration, this time of the mesomeric resonance on a benzene ring induced by an electron donating substituent (an amino group) or an electron withdrawing substituent (cyano).
