Abstract
The structure of the title compound has been confirmed by an X-ray diffraction analysis, and refined by full-matrix least squares. The crystals are mono-clinic:a=9.171(3),b=25.176(15)c=9.192(3) Å,β=117.08(3)°,Z=4,D x =1.976g cm−3,μ=2.66mm¯1, space groupP21/n (No. 14). The finalR value is 5.7%. Interatomic distances and bond angles are compared with those reported in related molecules.
