HgPb2O2Cl2, ein „perforiertes”︁ Blei(II)-oxid

HgPb₂O₂Cl₂, a “Perforated” Lead(II) Oxide Single crystals of HgPb₂O₂Cl₂ were grown in a HgCl₂ flux by reaction of PbO with HgCl₂. Crystal structure analysis by single crystal X-ray methods were carried out. HgPb₂O₂Cl₂ crystallizes monoclinic with a = 11.788(2) Å, b = 3.910(1) Å, c = 7.749(2) Å, β = 122.64(3)°, space group C2/m (No. 12) and Z = 2. HgPb₂O₂Cl₂ is the first member of a new structure type, closely related to the structure of PbO.
