Abstract
A quantitative procedure for indirectly locating hydride ligands bound to transition metals in cluster compounds is described. The method predicts hydride positions which can be and are compared with those determined by neutron (and X-ray) diffraction. Examples are presented of its use in determining hydride sites in cases where these ligands could not be located directly in the X-ray structure analysis. These results are contrasted to those obtained by other indirect techniques of hydride location.
