All-metal Baird aromaticity.

Baird's rule has been applied to a large scope of organic molecular systems for rationalizing the aromaticity reversal in the lowest-lying triplet state. In this study, we demonstrate that Baird's rule can also be extended to all-metal systems with σ- and π-aromaticity.
