Yj. Shi et al., Self-assembly and X-ray structure determination of the novel 2-D layered organic-inorganic hybrid Pb-X compound: [PbX2(4,4 '-bipy)](n) (X=I,Br), CHEM LETT, (7), 2001, pp. 678-679
Two novel organic-inorganic hybrid compounds, [PbI2(4,4 ' -bipy)](n) (1) an
d [PbBr2(4,4 ' -bipy)](n) (2), are synthesized by self-assembly. X-ray crys
tallography analysis shows that the [PbI2], chains in 1 are linked by 4,4 '
-bipyridine to form a layer, via Pb-N bonding along the direction of the '
b' axis.
