Abstract

Apparent contradictions between ipsocentric, Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) and Gauge-Including Magnetically Induces Current (GIMIC) evaluations of ring current aromaticity in Al4 2- are resolved in favour of the descripion of this all-metal system as sigma aromatic on the magnetic criterion.
