Explicit reasons for designating the three-electron three-center bonding VB structures II and III, as "increased-valence" structures are deducted in this reference. However the definitions of AO valence that were used in this treatment, and in refs 2-4 therein, have now been revised (Harcourt, R. D. J. Mol. Struct. THEOCHEM 2003, 634, 265). In the latter reference, it is deduced that, whereas the maximum R-atom valence in structures I or IV is unity, the maximum R-atom valence in each of the VB structures II or III is 1.073 when their (fractional) electron-pair bond is formulated as a doubly occupied MO rather than as two singly occupied Coulson-Fischer MOs.
