Direct synthesis of the novel 2-D mixed-ligands lead(II) complex, crystal structure of [Pb(4,4′-bpy)(NO3)(SCN)]n (4,4′-bpy=4,4′-bipyridine):: (A new polymeric compound with three bridged ligand and inactive lone pair)

A lead(II) complex with three ligands, 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'bpy), nitrate, and thiocyanate, has been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR-, H-1-, C-13- and Pb-207 NMR spectroscopy. The single-crystal X-ray data of [Pb(4,4'-bpy)(NO3)(SCN)](n), compound shows that the complex to be two dimensional polymeric and the Pb atom has an eight-coordinate geometry. The lone pair of electrons on lead(II) is inactive in this complex.
