Interaction with the aromatic system of the phenyl substituents as well as amide-type resonance is responsible for the marked planarization of the coordination environments of the N atoms. C¡ªH...O contacts give rise to the formation of centrosymmetric dimers in the crystal structure. The closest distance between the centroids of two adjacent rings is 3.8938 (11) . %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811008294
