Hi there, everybody.

Is anyone aware of any computational work on Grignard
reaction intermediates?  

Is there any hope of guessing at an intermediate geometry
and running a calculation with any meaning whatsoever?

Is there any way to get information about the electronic
structure of a reaction intermediate?

Any information, advice, or informed opinion will be welcomed.

Thanks very much,

Mary Jo Ondrechen
