Structure of a novel neutral lead(II) complex with dipropyldithiocarbamate

Abstract

The synthesis and X-ray structure of a novel tetramer of Pb(II) with the dipropyldithiocarbamato ligand is described. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a=9.576(2), b= 14.151(4), c=16.175(4) Å, α=104.84(2), β= 102.26(2), γ=90.62(2)°, V=2065(1) Å3. Unit cell dimensions and data collection were done at 130(1) K using graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation. The conventional R factor is 0.030 for 5323 unique observed reflections with the goodness- of-fit parameter = 1.35. The structure consists of a sulfur-bridged neutral tetrameric species where each Pb(II) ion is pentacoordinated. © 1988.
