The paper presents a cooperative consideration of Raman spectra of $^2$ amorphous carbons as well as the nature and type of their amorphicity. The latter was attributed to the amorphization of a new type named as enforced fragmentation. The fragments are stable graphenous molecules, which are the basic structural units (BSUs) of the solids, determining them as amorphics with molecular structure. Due to weak intermolecular interaction, BSUs, once aggregated, are the main defendants for IR absorption and Raman scattering of the solids, just justifying the consideration of them at molecular level. The standard G-D-2D pattern of Raman spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, $^2$ amorphous carbons, graphene and/or graphite crystal is attributed to extended honeycomb composition of carbon atoms and are suggested as manifestation of molecule-crystal dualism of graphenous materials. The molecular approximation, applied to the analysis of one-phonon spectra of the studied $^2$ ACs, makes it possible to trace a direct connection of the G-D spectra image as well as their broadband structure with a considerable dispersion of the C=C bond lengths within BSUs honeycomb structure, caused by the influence of chemical action, deformation, etc. This approximation, applied to the interpretation of two-phonon spectrum of graphenous molecules for the first time, reveals a particular role of electrical anharmonicity in the spectra formation and attributes this effect to a high degree of the electron density delocalization. A size-stimulated transition from molecular to quasi-particle phonon consideration of Raman spectra was experimentally traced, which allowed evaluation of a free path of optical phonons in graphene crystal.
