Abstract

Lead(II) complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) containing two different anions, [Pb(bpy)(CH3- COO)X] (X = I-, NO3 -, and ClO4 -), have been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR-, 1H NMR- and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structure of [Pb(bpy)(ClO4)(CH3COO)]n was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The complex is a one-dimensional polymer as a result of perchlorate ligand bridging. The Pb atom has an unsymmetrical eight-coordinate geometry. The arrangement of the bpy, acetate and nitrate ligands leaves a coordination gap at the Pb(II) ion, occupied probably by a stereo-active lone pair of electrons. There is a π- π stacking interaction between the parallel aromatic rings that may be formed by influence lone pair activity
