In [[HandWiki:Chemistry|chemistry]], '''phi bonds''' ('''φ bonds''') are usually [[Chemistry:Covalent bond|covalent]] [[Chemistry:Chemical bond|chemical bond]]s, where six lobes of one involved [[Physics:Atomic orbital|atomic orbital]] [[Orbital overlap|overlap]] six lobes of the other involved atomic orbital. This overlap leads to the formation of a bonding [[Chemistry:Molecular orbital|molecular orbital]] with three nodal planes which contain the internuclear axis and go through both atoms.<br />
<br />
The Greek letter φ in their name refers to f orbitals, since the orbital symmetry of the φ bond is the same as that of the usual (6-lobed) type of f orbital when seen down the bond axis.<br />
<br />
There was one possible candidate reported in 2005 of a molecule with phi bonding: a U−U bond in the molecule diuranium (U<sub>2</sub>).<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Gagliardi|first1=Laura|last2=Roos|first2=Björn O.|title=Quantum chemical calculations show that the uranium molecule U<sub>2</sub> has a quintuple bond|journal=Nature|year=2005|volume=433|issue=7028|pages=848–851|doi=10.1038/nature03249|url=http://archive-ouverte.unige.ch/unige:3652|bibcode = 2005Natur.433..848G|pmid=15729337|s2cid=421380}}</ref> However, later studies that accounted for [[Physics:Spin–orbit interaction|spin–orbit interaction]]s found that the bonding was only of [[Chemistry:Quadruple bond|fourth order]].<ref name = Manz2017>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1039/c7ra07400j | journal = RSC Adv. | title = Introducing DDEC6 atomic population analysis: part 3.
