64. [26] The crystallographic asymmetric unit consists of one formula unit. In the final stage of least-squares refinement, all non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically for both structures. The positions of H atoms were calculated as a riding model with isotropic thermal parameters equal to 1.2 times that of the attached C atoms and were included for the calculations of the final R indices.
