Abstract:
In the title coordination polymer, [Pb(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))], the coordination geometry about the Pb(II) atom is a distorted octahedron, composed of two N atoms from bpe ligands [bpe is 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane], two other N atoms from NCS(-) groups and two neighbouring S atoms through short contacts. The trans-bpe ligands act as bridges between two Pb(II) centres resulting in the formation of a linear chain. The terminal S atoms of the NCS(-) ligands make short contacts with the Pb(II) atom of neighbouring chains to form an infinite two-dimensional polymeric structure.
