Herein we report the synthesis and detailed structural characterization of two new centrosymmetric dinuclear coordination compounds of Pb(II) [Pb2L2(NCS)(4)] (1) and [Pb2L2(NO3)(4)]center dot 2MeOH (2), using the organic ligand 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-bis((methyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)hydrazono)ethane (L). In both complexes, each subunit [PbLX2(X = NO(3)or NCS)] adopts a quasi-aromatic Mobius metal chelate structure. Each ligand L is coordinated in a tetradentate coordination mode to Pb(II), yielding the 12 pi electron chelate ring via two pyridyl-imine units. In compound (1), the coordination sphere is completed by one disordered N,S-coordinated thiocyanate anion and two mu(1,1)-bridging N-coordinated thiocyanate anions. In compound (2), the coordination sphere of Pb(II) is completed by two monodentate and two bidentate nitrato ligands (two of them acting as bridging ligands). Crystal packing of both compounds is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, intra- and intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions. The Hirshfeld molecular surfaces of (1) and (2) demonstrate that their packing is dominated by C-H center dot center dot center dot O/N/S interactions as well as by far less favored H center dot center dot center dot H contacts.
