Abstract: | In the title coordination polymer, Pb(NCS)2(C12H12N2)], the coordination geometry about the PbII 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 PbII centres resulting in the formation of a linear chain. The terminal S atoms of the NCS? ligands make short contacts with the PbII atom of neighbouring chains to form an infinite two‐dimensional polymeric structure. |
