Abstract: | The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Pb(C4O4)(C12H8N2)2(H2O)]·2H2O}n, contains one squarate dianion, two phenanthroline (phen) ligands and one aqua ligand all coordinated to Pb, and two solvent water molecules. The eight‐coordinate Pb metal ion displays a distorted bicapped trigonal–prismatic coordination environment, defined by three squarate O atoms, four N atoms from two chelating phen ligands and one O atom from the coordinated water molecule. The crystal structure contains chains of squarate‐1,2,3‐bridged PbII ions running in the [010] direction. These polymeric chains are linked to one another via offset face‐to‐face π–π interactions between the phen ligands, which lead to a two‐dimensional network extending along the (001) plane. The crystal structure is also stabilized by O—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen‐bond interactions, forming a three‐dimensional network. |
