“…Similar treatment of the N(1)-C(5) [O(5)]--C(6) amide moiety gives an average deviation of <0.007 A with atoms C(4) (0.105 ./k) and H(N1) (0.050,/k) close to the calculated plane. The amide bond lengths and bond angles are in the respective ranges: C(sp3)-C(sp2), 1.505-1.532; C=O, 1-218-1.237; C(sp2)-N, 1-320-1.379 ,~; C-C=O, 117.9-122.3; N-C--O, 122.1-124.9; C-C-N, 115.0-119.1 °, found for a variety of other macrocyclic amides (Samuel & Weiss, 1970;Northolt & Alexander, 1968;Simonov et al, 1981;Ganin et al, 1981Ganin et al, , 1984. The least-squares planes of the two amide segments have a dihedral angle of 40.5 (2) ° .…”
