While -hybridized carbon atoms in hydrocarbons typically contribute only one electron to their aromaticity, metals have more electrons from or orbitals available for participating in conjugation in organometallics, complicating the electron counting as well as analysis of their aromaticity. Here, the author comments on the challenges towards understanding aromaticity in organometallics and outlines several remaining questions that have yet to be answered.
虽然烃类中发生杂化的碳原子通常仅为其芳香性贡献一个电子，但金属从其d或f轨道有更多电子可用于参与有机金属化合物中的共轭，这使得电子计数以及对其芳香性的分析变得复杂。在此，作者评论了理解有机金属化合物中芳香性所面临的挑战，并概述了几个尚未得到解答的问题。
