It is worth to note that the word conjugation used to mean delocalisation it is a somewhat a contradiction in term, in the sense that a perfect organic metal would have no alternating bonds. Still, the existence of alternated ie conjugated limiting structures is a requisite for resonance / delocalisation, and this makes the two terms synonyms in practice. | |
