Preferred Label : agostic;
IUPAC definition : The term designates structures in which a hydrogen atom is bonded to both a carbon
atom and a metal atom. The term is also used to characterize the interaction between
a CH bond and an unsaturated metal centre, and to describe similar bonding of a transition
metal with Si–H compounds. The expression ' em µ /em -hydrido-bridged' is also used
to describe the bridging hydrogen.;
