but once you "add hydrogens" does'nt the structure change to some other optima? and I don't want a central "dummy" atom, I need a pi bonded olefin….next release? R / Cp = \ / M P / \/\/\/\/\/ Cp \ R' where = is a substituted olefin, and is pi bonded to the metal center, and spins around so that the effects of R (or R') on the energy of the system, (and the optimum orientation) can be mapped….will a dummy atom or disconnected Cp system work? How do I measure the distance between the Cp centroid and the metal center? how do I measure the olefin metal center bond distance, and look at the effect of the R (or R') group? more later, ps, thanks!
