Dear CCL netters,

Are there criteria which define/verify the presence of an agostic H---metal
interaction?

I am mainly interested in organometallics where the H is not on C-alpha.

Any pointers to references would be appreciated, as well as your comments.

Will summarize if enough comments.

thanks in advance,

   Eilert Ofstead
