15. int = 0.07, 3.75 < θ < 70.31°) were collected on a Bruker SMART 6K CCD area-detector three-circle diffractometer with a Rigaku Rotating Anode by using narrow frames (0.3° in ω) and were corrected empirically (SADABS: G. M Sheldrick, Bruker AXS Inc., Madison, WI, 2000) for absorption.
16. The raw intensity data frames were integrated with the SAINT program (SAINT + NT Version 6.04, SAX Area Detector Integration Program, Bruker AXS Inc., Madison, WI, 1997-2001), which also applied corrections for Lorentz and polarization effects.
17. int = 0.05, 2.37 < θ < 26.41°) were collected on an Enraf-Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer. Data reduction and cell refinement were carried out by using the programs DENZO and SCALE-PACK (Z. Otwinowski, W. Minor, Methods Enzymol. 1997, 276, 307).

20. 4 of 1 displayed rotational disorder over five positions. The hydrogen atoms were either included in geometrically calculated positions and refined with isotropic displacement parameters according to the riding model, or found with difference Fourier synthesis, and refined isotropically. CCDC-265600 and CCDC-265403 (1 and 2) contain the supplementary crystallographic data for this paper.
