Abstract: | [BuN(CH2CH2)3NBu]3[Pb5I16] · 4 DMF – an Iodoplumbate Anion with approximately D 5h Symmetry The star‐shaped anion of [BuN(CH2CH2)3NBu]3‐[Pb5I16] · 4 DMF ( 1 ) consists of a cyclic arrangement of five PbI6 octahedra sharing one common I atom in the centre of an almost planar Pb5 ring. Compound 1 crystallizes in space group P21 with a = 1657.2(1), b = 2029.2(1), c = 1773.6(1) pm, β = 113.238(8)°, Z = 2. |
