E. Skrzypczakjankun et Da. Smith, 2 1-COMPLEX OF N,N',N''-TRIMETHYLNITRILO-TRIACETAMIDE AND PB(NO3)(2)/, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 53, 1997, pp. 579-581
N,N',N-''-trimethylnitrilotriacetamide, like underivatized nitrilotria
cetamide, forms a 2:1 complex with lead nitrate, namely bis(N,N',N-''-
trimethylnitrilo-kappa N-triacetamide-kappa(3)O,O',O-'')lead(II) dinit
rate, [Pb(C9H18N4O3)(2)](NO3)(2). Increasing the bulk of the organic l
igands through methylation of the amide N atoms leads to a reduction i
n the coordination number of the Pb-II atom from ten to nine and elimi
nates the nitrate anions from the coordination sphere.
