About: Green–Davies–Mingos rules

In organometallic chemistry, the Green–Davies–Mingos rules predict the regiochemistry for nucleophilic addition to 18-electron metal complexes containing multiple unsaturated ligands. The rules were published in 1978 by organometallic chemists Stephen G. Davies, Malcolm Green, and Michael Mingos. They describe how and where unsaturated hydrocarbon generally become more susceptibile to nucleophilic attack upon complexation.
