25. Different crystal batches of 12 were measured but were disordered, and the X-ray structure determination is therefore somewhat poor (R = 0.0978 for data with 1 > 2σ(I) and R = 0.1169 for all data). While important information can be obtained for its connectivity, we do not include this structure in the discussion of bond lengths and angles.
