with MoKα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) on a Nonius Kappa CCD.
Lorentz and polarization corrections were applied to the data.23
An empirical absorption correction using SCALEPACK was
applied.24 Intensities of equivalent reflections were averaged.
The structure was solved using the structure solution program
PATTY in DIRDIF92.25 The remaining atoms were located in
succeeding difference Fourier syntheses. Hydrogen atoms were
included in the refinement but restrained to ride on the atom to
which they are bonded. The structure was refined in full-matrix
least-squares where the function minimized was Σw(|Fo|2
Ϫ
|Fc|2)2 and the weight w is defined as w = 1/[σ2(Fo2) ϩ (0.0585P)2
ϩ 1.4064P] where P = (Fo2 ϩ 2Fc2)/3. Scattering factors were
taken from the “International Tables for Crystallography”.26
Refinement was performed on a AlphaServer 2100 using
SHELX-97.27 Crystallographic drawings were done using
programs ORTEP.28
