The structure was solved by direct methods (SIR-2002)33 and refined
against all F2 data by full-matrix least-squares techniques (SHELXTL-6.12).34
All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement
parameters. The hydrogen atoms were included from calculated posi-
tions and refined riding on their respective carbon atoms with isotropic
displacement parameters. Details are given in Table 2. CCDC nos.
