The structures were solved by direct methods. Full matrix refinement (anisotropic for all non-hydrogen atoms, phenyl groups in 2 as rigid bodies with H atoms isotropic, H atoms in 1 located but not refined) using unit weights resulted in R values of 0.040 for 1 and 0.036 for 2. All details of the crystallographic work are documented in the supplementary material: Table A contains all crystallographic data, Tables B and C list all atomic parameters, Tables D and E all bond lengths and angles for both compounds, Tables F and G give the FJF, listings, and Figures A and B show the detailed molecular structures and atom numbering schemes.
