Randomized trial demonstrates a linear bond strength correlation for C–C covalent bonds, indicating potential for bond strength tuning.

This research aims to explore the relationship between bond strength and bond order in covalent bonds, especially C–C interactions.
Investigated bond strength and bond order of various covalent bonds.
Analyzed 13 types of covalent interactions including Si–Si and B–N bonds.
Measured specific bond strengths and lengths, focusing on the linearity of their relationship.
A linear correlation with a slope of 8.9 nN/order was established for C–C covalent bonds.
The bond strength varies from 1.49 nN for one-electron σ-bonds to 25.72 nN for six-electron σ + 2π bonds.
The linear relationship is consistent across multiple types of covalent interactions.
