catena-Poly[[bis(pyridine)lead(II)]bis(μ-pentafluorobenzenethiolato)]

Abstract

The title compound, [Pb(C6F5S)2(C5H5N)2]n, shows the PbII atom in a ψ-trigonal bipyramidal S2N2 bonding environment. Pyridine N atoms occupy axial sites, while thiolate S atoms and a stereochemically active lone pair occupy equatorial sites. Very long intermolecular Pb...S interactions [3.618 (4) and 3.614 (4) Å] yield a weakly associated one-dimensional polymeric structure extending parallel to [010].
