30. The term metalloaromaticity was used previously to describe some early transition metal metallocyclobutadiene complexes: (a) Bursten, B. E.; Fenske, R. F. Inorg. Chem. 1979, 18, 1760. (b) Bursten, B. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1983, 105, 121. The term is utilized herein in a different context as we are referring to a metallic ring which mimics traditional aromatic behavior.
