Abstract
FRANKLIN1 has shown that an anomalous two-fold increase of the X-ray diffraction intensity is observed for the two-dimensional 10 carbon band. She explains this by the fact that the L-electrons are not distributed spherically about the carbon nucleus but are concentrated about the centres of the C—C bonds. I have obtained further evidence in support of this explanation from X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements.
