Lewis-Base Adducts of Lead(II) Compounds. III. Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Mononuclear (Nitrato-O,O′)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)-(thiocyanato-N)lead(II)

Abstract

The isolation and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound, [(phen)₂Pb(NCS)(O₂NO)] is described; crystals are triclinic, P1, a 15.554(7), b 9-670(4), c 8.429(3) α 72.53(3), β 81.90(3), γ 72.88(3)º Z = 2, yielding R 0.052 for 3405 independent 'observed' reflections. The lead atom is seven-coordinate [Pb-N 2.49(1)-2.60(1) (phen), 2.89(1) (NCS); Pb-O 2.75(1), 2.89(1) Å] with a large vacancy in the coordination sphere, possibly indicative of a stereochemically active lone pair.
