28. We failed to isolate complex 7 by recrystallization of the reaction mixture obtained from complex 3. However, at least a single crystal of 7 was obtainable and its use attempted for X-ray crystallographic studies. The connectivity in 7 was confirmed although no publishable data were obtained due to poor quality of the crystal.
