Single crystal diffraction data of 1 were collected on a Bruker-SMART CCD diffractometer with graphite monochromatic Mo Kα radiation at 193(2) K. The structure were solved by direct methods and refined on F2 using full matrix least-squares methods with SHELXTL version 97 [25]. Anisotropic thermal parameters were refined for the non-hydrogen atoms, and Hydrogen atoms were theoretically added and riding on their parent atoms.
