21. 2 was by full-matrix least-squares techniques (SHELXL 93, G. M. Sheldrick, Universität Göttingen); all non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically, and hydrongen atoms were included in calculated positions and allowed to ride on the relevant carbon atom. Final residuals wre R1 = 0.0969 for 4178 unique data with I>2σ(I) and wR2 = 0.3352 (qall data).
