rule that reverses Hückel's count in the lowest triplet excited state, so 4n pi-electron rings become aromatic and 4n+2 rings antiaromatic.

In photochemistry, Baird's rule refers to rule that reverses Hückel's count in the lowest triplet excited state, so 4n pi-electron rings become aromatic and 4n+2 rings antiaromatic. This meaning comes from Baird (1972) in Journal of the American Chemical Society.[1]
