The structure was solved by direct methods[15] and the model refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis.[16] "Head-to-tail" disorder of the C and N atoms of each cyanide group was included in the refinement. 128 parameters were refined, including anisotropic temperature factors for all atoms and the Flack parameter (0.44(7), racemic twin) (R(F)= 0.0365 wR(F)=0.0416 using 1391 reflections with I> > 3σ(I)).

" Head-to-tail" disorder of the C and N atoms of each cyanide group was modeled in the refinement. 51 parameters, including anisotropic temperature factors for all non-hydrogen atoms, were refined (R(F)=0.0316 wR(F)= 0.0355 using 671 reflections with I > 3σ(I)).
