Hi Yubo,

A couple of review articles with several examples

1.  Zaera, F. Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 2651.
2.  Hall, C.; Perutz, R. N. Chem. Rev. 1996, 96, 3125.

and an old (but very good) paper dealing with agostic interactions when
they were not even termed 'agostic interactions' yet!

Goddard, R. J.; Hoffmann, R.; Jemmis, E. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1980, 102,
7667.

Hope you find this material interesting and educational,

Maricel
