Comment on "Superposition of Waves or Densities: Which Is the Nature of Chemical Resonance?" [J. Comput. Chem. 2021, 42, 412-417].

ABSTRACT

We reply to specific criticisms and misrepresentations of natural resonance theory (NRT) in a recent article [Y. Wang, J. Comput. Chem. 2021, 42, 412-417] and argue that it presents a false dichotomy with respect to theoretical efforts to comprehend the nature of resonance-type phenomena.
