Diaqua-(nitrato-κO,O')bis-(l-phenyl-alaninato-κO,O')lead(II) nitrate
Abstract:
In the title complex, [Pb(C(9)H(11)NO(2))(2)(NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)]NO(3), the cation is a monomeric species including zwitterionic amino-acids. In both zwitterions, rotation of the NH(3) (+) groups about their C-N bonds is blocked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Assuming a limit for Pb-O bond lengths of 3 Å, the Pb(II) ion is coordinated by eight O atoms. Each phenyl-alaninate ligand coordinates asymmetrically, with one short and one long Pb-O bond. Coordinated water mol-ecules are also found at significantly different distances, while the bidentate nitrate ion coordinates symmetrically. The resulting [Pb(II)O(8)] core is hemi-directed, with a void placed almost trans to a carboxyl-ate group. However, the 6s(2) lone pair of the metal center can not be considered as stereochemically active, as a non-coordinating O atom of a nitrate belonging to a symmetry-related cation is placed in the empty hemisphere, with a short Pb⋯O separation of 3.035 (10) Å.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
