“…After filtration and evaporation to dryness, the residue obtained was recrystallized from methylene chloride/diethyl ether at 0~ to yield 0.095 g of red crystals of the title compound 2. An additional 0.030 g was recovered following concentration of the mother solution, readdition of diethyl ether, and cooling to 0~ A crystal of complex 2, 0.05 • 0.10 x 0.30 mm, was mounted on a Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer controlled by the NRCCAO software (Le Page et al, 1986).
