Whereas the eight-coordinate complex cation of [PbL4][(MeO)(2)PO2]. 2H
(2)O [L = 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole] has square prismatic geometry stabili
sed by hydrogen bonding between the pyrazolyl NH groups and the dimeth
ylphosphate anion, the complex cation of [PbL4][PF6](2), in which ther
e are no significant hydrogen-bonding interactions, has a structure di
storted towards square antiprismatic with a 22 degrees twist between t
he planes.
