Abstract
Since the prediction of the existence of metallabenzenes in 1979, metallaaromatic chemistry has developed rapidly, due to its importance in both experimental and theoretical fields. Now six major types of metallaromatic compounds, metallabenzenes, metallabenzynes, heterometallaaromatics, dianion metalloles, metallapentalenes and metallapentalynes (also termed carbolongs), and spiro metalloles, have been reported and extensively studied. Their parent organic analogues may be aromatic, non-aromatic, or even anti-aromatic. These unique systems not only enrich the large family of aromatics, but they also broaden our understanding and extend the concept of aromaticity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of metallaaromatic chemistry. We have focused on not only the six major classes of metallaaromatics, including the main-group-metal-based metallaaromatics, but also other types, such as metallacyclobutadienes and metallacyclopropenes. The structures, synthetic methods, and reactivities are described, their applications are covered, and the challenges and future prospects of the area are discussed. The criteria commonly used to judge the aromaticity of metallaaromatics are presented.

Abstract
In contrast to early transition metal complexes of d0 electron configuration, their main group metal analogues are usually poor catalysts for ethylene polymerisation due to their diminished tendency to insert ethylene into an M-R bond. Interestingly, we found that ring strain in the transition structure of the insertion reaction is most likely responsible to set the ease of the process. Ethylene insertion into an M-R bond requires a four-membered ring transition structure. Strain in a four-membered ring was shown to be dependent on the metal identity (transition or main group/d or p block). For early transition metals, due to the presence of empty valence d orbitals, the strain is negligible but, for main group metals, the strain is significant and so destabilizes the corresponding transition structure. Our claim gains support from investigation of ethylene insertion into an M-allyl bond. In this case, the relevant insertion preferentially passes through a six-membered ring transition structure with an accessibly low activation barrier. In contrast to four-membered ring transition structures, six-membered ones do not suffer significantly from ring strain, causing the insertion activation barrier to become independent of the metal identity. It becomes obvious from our study that this previously undisclosed factor should play the pivotal role in determining the reactivity of many catalysts.

Abstract
Aromaticity, one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, has attracted considerable attention from both theoreticians and experimentalists. Much effort on aromaticity in organometallics has been devoted to metallabenzene and derivatives. In comparison, aromaticity in other organometallics is less developed. This Account describes how our group has performed quantum chemical calculations to examine aromaticity in recently synthesized novel organometallic complexes. By collaborations with experimentalists, we have extended several aromaticity concepts into organometallics to highlight the power of transition metals. In general, the transition metal could participate in delocalization either out of rings or in the rings. We examined the former by probing the possibility of transition metal substituents in hyperconjugative aromaticity, where the metal is out of the rings. Calculations on tetraaurated heteroaryl complexes reveal that incorporation of the aurated substituents at the nitrogen atom can convert nonaromaticity in the parent indolium into aromaticity in the aurated one due to hyperconjugation, thus extending the concept of hyperconjugative aromaticity to heterocycles with transition metal substituents. More importantly, further analysis indicates that the aurated substituents can perform better than traditional main-group substituents. Recently, we also probed the strongest aromatic cyclopentadiene and pyrrolium rings by hyperconjugation of transition metal substituents. Moreover, theoretical calculations suggest that one electropositive substituent is able to induce aromaticity; whereas one electronegative substituent prompts nonaromaticity rather than antiaromaticity. We also probed the possibility of Craig-type Möbius aromaticity in organometallic chemistry, where the position of the transition metals is in the rings. According to the electron count and topology, aromaticity can be classified as Hückel-type and Möbius-type. In comparison with numerous Hückel aromatics containing 4 n+2 π-electrons, Möbius aromatics with 4 n π-electrons, especially the Craig-type species, are particularly limited. We first examined aromaticity in osmapentalynes. Theoretical calculations reveal that incorporation of the osmium center not only reduces the ring strain of the parent pentalyne, but also converts Hückel antiaromaticity in the parent pentalyne into Craig-type Möbius aromaticity in metallapentalynes. Further studies show that the transition metal fragments can also make both 16e and 18e osmapentalenes aromatic, indicating that the Craig-type Möbius aromaticity in osmapentalyne is rooted in osmapentalenes. In addition, Möbius aromaticity is also possible in dimetalla[10]annulenes, where the lithium atoms are not spectator cations but play an important role due to their bonding interaction with the diene moieties. We then examined the possibility of σ-aromaticity in an unsaturated ring. Traditional π-aromaticity is used to describe the π-conjugation in fully unsaturated rings; whereas σ-aromaticity may stabilize fully saturated rings with delocalization caused by σ-electron conjugation. We found that the unsaturated three-membered ring in cyclopropaosmapentalene is σ-aromatic. Very recently, we extended σ-aromaticity into in a fully unsaturated ring. The concepts and examples presented here show the importance of interplay and union between experiment and theory in developing novel aromatic systems and, especially, the indispensable role of computational study in rationalization of unconventional aromaticity. All these findings highlight the strong power of transition metals originating from participation of d orbitals in aromaticity, opening an avenue to the design of unique metalla-aromatics.

Abstract
Metalla-analogs of polycyclic arynes represent an interesting class of metallaaromatics with a formal M[triple bond, length as m-dash]C bond within the ring. The first examples of a bicyclic β-metallaaryne and tricyclic metallaarynes, including a metallaanthracyne and a metallaphenanthryne, were obtained in good yields by reactions of OsCl2(PPh3)3 with alkyne-functionalized phosphorus ylides.

Abstract
The construction of metal-carbon bonds is one of the most important issues of organometallic chemistry. However, the chelation of polydentate ligands to a metal via several metal-carbon bonds is rare. Metallapentalyne, which can be viewed as a 7-carbon (7C) chain coordinated to a metal via three metal-carbon bonds, was first reported in 2013. Although metallapentalyne contains a metal-carbon triple bond in a five-membered ring (5MR) and the bond angle around the carbyne carbon is only 129.5°, metallapentalyne exhibits excellent stability to air, moisture, and heat. Metallapentalyne possesses the rare planar Möbius aromaticity, which is in sharp contrast to the Hückel antiaromaticity in pentalyne. The metal fragment not only relieves the large ring strain present in pentalyne but also results in the transformation of the antiaromaticity in pentalyne to aromaticity in metallapentalyne. With the extension of the carbon chain from 7 to 12 carbon atoms, a series of novel polycyclic frameworks were constructed via the formation of several metal-carbon bonds. Some interesting phenomena were observed for these complexes. For instance, (1) the carbyne carbon of the 7C framework could react with both nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents, leading to the formation of 16- and 18-electron metallapentalenes; (2) σ aromaticity was first observed in an unsaturated system in the 8C framework; (3) two classical antiaromatic frameworks, cyclobutadiene and pentalene, were simultaneously stabilized in the 9C framework for the first time; (4) three fused 5MRs bridged by a metal are coplanar in the 10C framework; (5) the first [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of a late transition metal carbyne complex with alkynes was realized during the construction of an 11C framework; (6) the largest number of carbon atoms coordinated to a metal atom in the equatorial plane was observed in the 12C framework; and (7) sharing of the transition metal by multiple aromatic units has seldom been observed in the metalla-aromatics. Therefore, the term carbolong chemistry has been used to describe the chemistry of these novel frameworks. More interestingly, carbolong complexes exhibit diverse properties, which could lead to potential future applications. As the discovery and creation of molecular fragments lead to advancements in chemistry, medical science, and materials chemistry, these novel polydentate carbon chain chelates might have important influences in these fields due to their facile synthesis, high stability, and unique properties.

Abstract
Metallaaromatics can be broadly defined as aromatic compounds in which one of the ring atoms is a transition metal. The metallabenzenes are one important class of these compounds that has undergone extensive study recently. Closely related species such as fused-ring metallabenzenes, heterometallabenzenes, π-coordinated metallabenzenes and metallabenzynes have also attracted considerable attention. Although many metallaaromatics can be considered as metalla-analogues of classic organic aromatic compounds, this is not always the case. Recent seminal studies have shown that metallapentalenes and metallapentalynes, which are metalla-analogues of the anti-aromatic compounds pentalene and pentalyne, are in fact aromatic and highly stable. Very unusual spiro-metallaaromatic compounds have also recently been isolated. In this concepts article, key features of all these intriguing metallaaromatic compounds are discussed with reference to the structural, spectroscopic, reactivity and theoretical studies that have been undertaken. These compounds continue to generate much interest, not only because of the contributions they make to fundamental chemical understanding, but also because of the promise of possible practical applications.

Abstract
Antiaromatic species are substantially less thermodynamically stable than aromatic moieties. Herein, we report the stabilization of two classical antiaromatic frameworks, cyclobutadiene and pentalene, by introducing one metal fragment through the first [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of a late-transition-metal carbyne with alkynes. Experimental observations and theoretical calculations reveal that the metal fragment decreases the antiaromaticity in cyclobutadiene and pentalene simultaneously, leading to air- and moisture-stable products. These molecules show broad absorption from the UV to the near-IR region, resulting in photoacoustic and photothermal effects for metalla-aromatic compounds for the first time. These results will encourage further efforts into the exploration of organometallic compounds for photoacoustic-imaging-guided photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Density functional theory has been used to provide a thorough investigation of the mechanistic factors affecting Cp ligand fluxionality in a series of organometallic complexes, [M(eta(5)-Cp)(eta(1)-Cp)(L)(2)](n), involving different metals, different oxidation states, and different ligands. Excellent agreement with experiment for the barrier heights for the 1,5-shift were obtained for the complexes [Fe(eta(5)-Cp*)(eta(1)-Cp)(CO)(2)] and [Fe(eta(5)-Cp)(eta(1)-Cp)(CO)(2)]. For the range of complexes studied, the barriers have been successfully rationalized in terms of hyperconjugation, metal-Cp bond strength, and steric effects. In addition, the eta(1)-eta(5) interconversion of the Cp binding mode is shown to be a high-energy process, consistent with experimental observations. The L substitution reactions by eta(1)-Cp are quite sensitive to the nature of the metal center and ancillary ligand. A detailed theoretical explanation of the factors involved in all of these transformations is provided.

Abstract
Treatment of the osmabenzyne Os([triple bond]CC(SiMe(3))=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)Cl(2)(PPh(3))(2) (1) with 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) and thallium triflate (TlOTf) produces the thermally stable dicationic osmabenzyne [Os([triple bond]CC(SiMe(3))=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)](OTf)(2) (2). The dicationic osmabenzyne 2 reacts with ROH (R = H, Me) to give osmabenzene complexes [Os(=C(OR)CH=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)]OTf, in which the metallabenzene ring deviates significantly from planarity. In contrast, reaction of the dicationic complex 2 with NaBH(4) produces a cyclopentadienyl complex, presumably through the osmabenzene intermediate [Os(=CHC(SiMe(3))=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)]OTf. The higher thermal stability of [Os(=C(OR)CH=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)]OTf relative to [Os(=CHC(SiMe(3))=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)]OTf can be related to the stabilization effect of the OR groups on the metallacycle. A theoretical study shows that conversion of the dicationic osmabenzyne complex [Os([triple bond]CC(SiMe(3))=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)](OTf)(2) to a carbene complex by reductive elimination is thermodynamically unfavorable. The theoretical study also suggests that the nonplanarity of the osmabenzenes [Os(=C(OR)CH=C(Me)C(SiMe(3))=CH)(bipy)(PPh(3))(2)]OTf is mainly due to electronic reasons.

Abstract
Research into aromatic metallacycles, though discussed in the literature over the last quarter century, has undergone a major expansion since 2000. A wide variety of new metallabenzenes, encompassing new synthetic methods and new metal centers, is now available. New aromatic metallacycle topologies (iridanaphthalene, osmabenzynes) have been isolated and characterized. The first metallabenzene valence isomers (iridabenzvalenes, rhodabenzvalenes) and constitutional isomers (isoosmabenzenes) are now known. This review discusses the synthesis, chemistry, and physical properties of these intriguing aromatic compounds.
