agostic

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.A00187
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 'µ-hydrido-bridged' is also used to describe the bridging hydrogen.
