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.
