11. 2; 12 647 reflections). The value of R is a little higher than usual because of the large number of atoms, the significant thermal motion, and the solvent disorder, all of which reduce the average intensity of the reflections. The value of wR, however, is very satisfactory, and the esds for the C-C bonds are nearly all 0.006 Å. Lengths of chemically equivalent bonds in the two halves of the two independent molecules agree slightly better than expected. The average esd for the means is 0.003 Å.
