66. The absence of any kind of bond linking the metal atom and α-hydrogen in titanium alkyl complexes was concluded recently from the computational results. The authors recommended to avoid use the term 'α-agostic bond' and the alternative expression 'α-agostic geometry' was proposed to eliminate possible misunderstanding:.
