Electron counting in transition metal complexes (18 e rule) is an useful tool to understand their stability and structure, although it does not apply to all transition metal complexes—only for a majority of compounds containing 7i-acceptor ligands. The 18 electron rule is an extension of the idea of the octet rule, which applies to atoms having only s and p orbitals. The idea is that the molecule will be stable when the central atom has the same electronic structure as noble gases of the same row. A similar concept can be applied to transition metal complexes having d electrons. The compound is considered most stable when the total number of electrons around the atom becomes the... [Pg.8]
