space groups respectively, in unit cells with the following dimension: a = 16.355(3)Angstrom, b = 8.114(1)Angstrom, c = 16.617(3)Angstrom, beta = 113.09 degrees, V = 2028.5(6)Angstrom(3), rho(calc) = 1.507 g cm(-3), Z = 4; a = 8.253(1)Angstrom, b = 10.497(2)Angstrom, c = 11.933(2)Angstrom, alpha= 89.89(1)degrees, beta = 83.61(1)degrees, gamma 77.03(1)degrees, V = 1000.8(4)Angstrom(3), rho(calc) = 1.527 g cm(-3), Z = 2 and a = 7.894(2)Angstrom, b = 10.137(2)Angstrom, c = 13.959(2)Angstrom, alpha = 76.17(1)degrees, beta = 81.42 degrees(1)degrees, gamma = 68.17(1)degrees, V = 1004.6(4)Angstrom(3), rho(calc) = 1.568 g cm(-3), Z = 2, respectively. Least-squares refinements converged to R(F) = 0.0494, 0.0425, and 0.0406 for 2655, 3333 and 2612 independent (I > 2 sigma(I), F > 4 sigma(F), and I > 2 rho(I)) reflections, respectively. Spectroscopic data indicate that the RDBP ligands are better pi-acceptors than the RPPh(2) ligands, but show little differentiation among any of the alkyl substituents.
