Such values are expected due to the high covalency of the chemical bond between carbon atoms in both graphene and diamond.<br><br>In fact, what you obtain is certainly values like (consider atom 1 as carbon):<br><br>CHA001 = 1.7 (which gives you the number of valence electron inside the MT sphere)<br><br>and<br><br>CTO001 = 3.7 (which gives you the number of total electron inside de MT sphere)<br><br>So as you mention 2 electrons are missing (in comparison to the atomic electronic structure 1s2 2s2 2p2), but the interaction is strong between carbon atoms (same electronegativity) and then an important part of the electronic density is in between the atoms (i.e. in the interstitial region). So a significant part of the charge should be in the interstitial region.<br><br>Lets take one of my examples to illustrate this feature.
