Some ab-initio valence-bond wave-functions are reported for the π-electrons of the ground-states of O3, NO2−, and CH2N2. Examination of these wave-functions provides further support for the hypothesis that, for the ground-states of many electron-excess molecules, important valence-bond structures are those that are compatible with the electroneutrality principle, i.e. they carry either small or zero formal charges on each of the atoms. For O3 and CH2N2, the important valence-bond structures with zero atomic formal charges are [Formula: see text]Each of these structures has a 'long-bond' between non-adjacent atoms. The significance of 'long-bond' (or spin-paired diradical) structures for the electronic mechanism of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions is discussed and 'increased-valence' descriptions of the electronic structure of each molecule are presented. Some comments on the utility of 'increased-valence' structures are provided.
