Aromaticity and hyperconjugation are two fundamental concepts in chemistry. Combining them together led to the proposal of the concept of hyperconjugative aromaticity by Mulliken in 1939. Now, it has been attracting considerable attention from both theoretical and experimental chemists. Recently, the concept of hyperconjugative aromaticity has been extended from main-group substituents to transition metal systems including groups 9, 10, and 11 transition metal substituents.
