Besides the classic double bond scheme, several novel schemes have been proposed to describe the nature of the chemical bond in dicarbon (C 2 ), including a quadruple bond and a singlet diradical state. The results from a symmetry-broken CASSCF(8,8)/aug-cc-pVTZ study present a harmony between MO and VB theories, based on the orthogonal hybridization of the 3σ g and 2σ u orbitals together with the other six pristine valence orbitals. This scheme achieves the same bonding energy, R  C-C , ω  e and one electron density as that from the eight pristine valence orbitals. A quadruple bond scheme, identical to Prof. Shaik's result from VB theory, is achieved with the 4 th bond energy in the range of 12.8-27.6 kcal mol -1 . Meanwhile, the weight of a singlet open-shell configuration is the highest among all the possible configurations.
