Fig. 7.41 Splitting of the central diamagnetic vortex into a central saddle line and two
diamagnetic vortical lines in acetylene. The asymptotic blue trajectories passing through ð3 Æ 1Þ
saddle-node points mark the intersection of the separatrices containing the TVs with the yz plane.
The truncated blue line is connected to the symmetrical pattern about the other C–H bond. The
diamagnetic (paramagnetic) portions of the TV are observed around green (red) SLs
