packages 2 respectively. Analysis <strong>of</strong> the data showed no significant decay during the<br />

data collection. Data was corrected for absorption effects using the multi-scan<br />

technique SADABS 3 , <strong>and</strong> the structure was solved by the direct methods package<br />

SIR97 4 <strong>and</strong> refined using the WinGX 5 s<strong>of</strong>tware incorporating SHELXL. 6 The final<br />

anisotropic full-matrix least-squares refinement was done on F 2 . The methine,<br />

methylene <strong>and</strong> aromatic protons were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C–<br />

H = 0.93 – 0.98 Å) <strong>and</strong> constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2<br />

Ueq(C). Non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters.<br />

The graphics were done using the DIAMOND 7 program with 50% probability<br />

ellipsoids for all non-hydrogen atoms.<br />
