X-ray StructureAnalyses. Single crystals for XSAwere produced by slow evaporation from the appropriate solvents
at room temperature. Unit-cell constants of 4 were determined and refined on a CCD Xcalibur diffractometer (Oxford
Diffraction); of 5 and 6, on a Stoe Stadi-4 diffractometer (300 K, graphite monochromator). Table 2 lists the principal parameters
of the XSAand the calculations. Athree-dimensional data set of reflections was collected on the same respective diffractometers
with ω/2ω-scanning using Cu K -radiation for 4 and Mo K -radiation for 5 and 6. Absorption corrections were applied for the
α
α
structure of 4 using the Multi-scan method and were not applied for 5 and 6.
Structures of 4–6 were solved by direct methods using the SHELXS-97 programs and were refined using the
2
SHELXL-97 program. All nonhydrogen atoms were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods (over F ). Positions of H
atoms in the structures of 4 and 6 were found geometrically and refined with fixed isotropic thermal parameters U = nU ,

eq
where n = 1.2 for all types of H atoms and U was the equivalent isotropic thermal parameter of the corresponding C atom.
eq
All H atoms in the structure of 5 and the H atoms of the water of crystallization in the structure of 6 were found from difference
electron-density (ED) syntheses. The difference ED syntheses of the structure of 5 during refinement showed a distinct peak
located at nonbonding distance from the molecule. Designating this as an O atom from a water molecule, the multiplicity was
refined and gave a value of 0.13. This indicated that 5 was a hemihydrate. The H atoms could not be found experimentally.
