Conclusion From the view of π molecular orbitals and negative NICS values compared to benzene both reveal aromaticity in osmasilapentalyne and ruthenasilapentalyne. And the large negative ISEs can also indicate aromaticity. From the view of thermodynamics, the Cl atom has the possiblity to migrate, but from the figure 5 we can see there are high energy barrier to climb, so from the dynamics, the migration may be difficult.
