Nano flowers of a new polymeric lead(II) complex containing the azide anions, [Pb(baea)(N3)·(N3)]n (“baea” is the abbreviation of bis(2-aminoethyl)amine), has been synthesized by a sonochemical method. The new nano-structure was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analyses, and IR spectroscopy. Single crystalline material was obtained using a heat gradient applied to a solution of the reagents. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that the coordination number for PbII ions is five, PbN5 and hold hemidirected coordination geometry. To the best of our knowledge, the 1D coordination polymer interact with each other via supramolecular and weak Pb···N interactions to create 2D supramolecular frameworks.
