Comment on "Is the Antiresonance in Meta-Contacted Benzene Due to the Destructive Superposition of Waves Traveling Two Different Routes around the Benzene Ring"

Abstract

The authors of ref 1 question and argue against the "interference-in-real-space" explanation of zero transmission of a meta-contacted benzene ring. They offer (and prefer) an alternative "interference-in-energy-space" picture.

While the latter viewpoint is a legitimate one, their arguments against the former are not in accord with their own method and are hence unfounded.
