In case you don't check Nat Commun but BlueSky regularly (= all of us?), here is an easy 3 min read of our recent work:

Chemistry World @chemistryworld.com · Jul 15

Chemistry textbooks will tell you that organometallic compounds can only have a maximum of 18 valence electrons. A new derivative of ferrocene has 20.

Organometallic compound found to break textbook principle

A ferrocene-derived complex is a further exception to the 18-electron rule
