PLAT308


PLAT308 Type_2 Test for single bonded metal atoms
 This test reports on single bonded (coordinated) metal atoms/ions. This
 represents a very unusual situation. There are literature examples where such  
 a 'single bonded metal' was shown to be a halogen. Metal clusters may invoke
 this ALERT. It is not always clear, based on default geometrical radii, to
 properly distinguish bonds from contacts.
