X-ray Data. Crystals of the complex were sealed in quartz capillaries under an atmosphere of argon. A crystal of dimensions 0.06 X 0.22 X 0.22 mm was examined with a Picker FACS-I automated diffractometer equipped with a raphite monochromator and a Mo setting angles of 12 manually centered reflections (45O C 28 < 50°) gave a = 16.092 (6) A, b = 9.883 (4) A, c = 17.872 (7) A, = 98.46 (3)O, and V = 281 1.4 A3 at 21 (1) OC. The observed extinctions are unique to space group P2,/c. For Z = 4 and a molecular weight of 601.70, the calculated density is 1.42 gIntensity data for two forms (&h,+k,=U) to 50° in 28 were collected with 8-28 with a scan speed of 2O/min on 28. Three standard reflections, measured after every 150 reflections, decreased in intensity by 2% during data collection, and the measured intensities were corrected accordingly.An analytical absorption correction was appliedS ( p = 33.3 cm-I), and the correction factors were varied from 1.27 to 2.42. Intensities of the 10699 reflections measured were also adjusted for the Lorentz and polarization factors: extinctions were removed, and equivalent reflection were averaged to obtain a set of 4985 unique reflections.Trial coordinates for the ytterbium atom were obtained from a three-dimensional Patterson function and were refined by least squares.An electron density map then revealed all nonhydrogen atoms. In the final cycles of least-squares refinement, all nonhydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically with the pyridine hydrogen atoms included in their calculated positions (with the assumption of a C-H bond X-ray tube (X(Kal) = 0.709 30 1 ).
