28. -3. One of the two molecules shows an in-plane disorder of a phenyl group (angle between the two phenyl mean planes = 3.0(6)°). This disorder was resolved by refinement of two tilted positions (tilt angle of about 12°) with population parameters of 0.60 and 0.40, respectively, and restraints on bond lengths, bond angles, and torsional angles (40 restraints).
