摘要
Apparent contradictions between ipsocentric, Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) and Gauge-Including Magnetically Induced Current (GIMIC) evaluations of ring current aromaticity in Al-4(2-) are resolved in favour of the description of this all-metal system as a aromatic on the magnetic criterion.
