Lm. Engelhardt et al., LEWIS-BASE ADDUCTS OF LEAD(II) COMPOUNDS .17. SYNTHETIC AND STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF SOME 1 1 ADDUCTS OF 2,2'/6,2''-TERPYRIDINE WITH LEAD(II) SALTS/, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 49(10), 1996, pp. 1135-1146
Syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determin
ations are recorded for 1:1 adducts of 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine ('tpy'
) with the lead(II) oxoanion salts perchlorate: nitrate and nitrite, (
tpy)Pb(oxoanion)(2). All structures are monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 4, with
approximate ranges a from 9 to 11 Angstrom, b from 16 to 20 Angstrom,
c from 9.8 to 13.8 Angstrom, beta from 113 to 130 degrees and V from 1
650 to 1850 Angstrom(3). In all cases the lead(II) atoms are disposed
on crystallographic 2 axes which also pass through the axis of the cen
tral tpy ring; a pair of symmetry-related oxoanions link successive le
ad atoms in a one-dimensional polymeric chain parallel to the ac cell
diagonal, one pair of oxygen atoms functioning as an O,O'-bidentate wi
th another oxygen (replaced by the nitrogen in the nitrite) bridging t
o the adjacent lead atom; the third anionic oxygen atom in the nitrate
is replaced by a water molecule in the nitrite, which thus becomes a
monohydrate. Residuals were 0.030, 0.034 and 0.040 for 2122, 1564 and
2059 independent 'observed' (I > 3 sigma(I)) reflections respectively.
Also recorded are the syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X
-ray structure determinations for 1:1 aducts of 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridi
ne with lead(II) chloride, bromide and iodide, the chloride and bromid
e being hydrated. (tpy)PbCl2.H2O is monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a 8.938(1), b

was 0.036 for N-o = 3346 independent, 'observed' reflections. The com
plex is centrosymmetric, binuclear [(tpy)(H2O)(Cl)Pb(mu-Cl)(2)Pb(Cl)(O

the lead atoms are seven-coordinate N-3,O,ClPb(mu-Cl)(2), The bromide

symmetry in which a central lead atom (on the quasi-2 axis) is seven-
coordinated [(tpy)Pb(mu-Br)4] with the associated bromides bridging to
a pair of peripheral lead atoms, also seven-coordinated, [(tpy)(Br)Pb
(mu-Br)(3)]. Unsolvated (tpy)PbI2, triclinic, <P(1)over bar>, a 10.834

loride, centrosymmetric binuclear, [(tpy)(I)Pb(mu-I)(2)Pb(I)(tpy)], bu
t with the lead(II) now six-coordinate N-3(I)Pb(mu-I)(2). In both chlo
ride and iodide, the tpy plane is approximately normal to the Pb ... P
b line with the water molecule of the chloride approximately trans to
the central tpy nitrogen; in the iodide that site is occupied by the t
erminal halide.
