Organometallic chemistry

the generalization that diamagnetic organometallic complexes and catalytic intermediates hold 16 or 18 valence electrons and that elementary steps pass between these counts.

In organometallic chemistry, 16-electron rule refers to the generalization that diamagnetic organometallic complexes and catalytic intermediates hold 16 or 18 valence electrons and that elementary steps pass between these counts. This meaning comes from Tolman (1972) in Chemical Society Reviews.[1]
