Electron-Counting Rules for Transition Metal-Nitric Oxide Complexes

Abstract
An electron-counting scheme is presented for metal nitrosyls, based generally on the eighteen-electron rule. Square-pyramidal 4d- and 5d-transition metal nitrosyls obey a sixteen-electron rule. The stereochemistry of the coordinated NO may thus be correlated with the overall electron configurations of the complexes.
