The crystal structure of the title compound contains a very long C-H .
.. O contact from the ethynyl group to a carbonyl ligand with a H ...
O separation of 2.92 Angstrom; weakly hydrogen bonding character of th
is contact is inferred from the Raman and the IR absorption spectra, s
howing the long range nature of the C-H ... O hydrogen bond.
