PLAT412
PLAT412 Type_2 Test for short non-bonding intra H..H contacts (involving XH3)
Short intramolecular contacts may arise when H-atoms are in (false) calculated positions. Short intramolecular contacts may also be a sign for a false structure with the molecule sitting on a site with improper site symmetry (e.g. '2' instead of '-1') which may happen when a lattice translation is missed. Short contacts are defined using a van der Waals radius of 1.2 Angstrom. Short H .. H contact involving CH3 H-atoms are often hampered by the fact that they involve H atoms at not optimal calculated positions.
