“…Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2007); cell refinement: APEX2 and SAINT (Bruker, 2007); data reduction: APEX2 and SAINT; program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 2008); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); molecular graphics: DIAMOND (Brandenburg, 2001); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXTL (Sheldrick, 2008). Spirane derivatives, which are typical molecules with axial chirality, have been mainly employed in ligand design and asymmetric synthesis (Srivastava et al, 1992;Chan et al, 1997;Ding et al, 2009;Cottam & Steel, 2009). Among them, 1,1′-spirobiindane and its analogs have also attracted much attention for their featuring C2-symmetric chiral property (Birman et al, 1999;Brewster & Prudence, 1973;Cottam & Steel, 2009).…”
