Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Thermal Properties of Lead(II)‎ Complex with Bathophenanthroline and Benzoyltrifluoroacetonate Ligands

Abstract EN

A new Pb(II) complex, [Pb(bp)2(btfa)2] 1, has been synthesized with bathophenanthroline (bp) and benzoyltrifluoroacetone (Hbtfa) and characterized by elemental analysis IR and H1 NMR spectroscopy as well as by thermal properties and X-ray crystallography.

The coordination number of the Pb(II) ions in 1 is eight, with the PbN4O4 coordination polyhedron containing a stereochemically “inactive” electron lone pair with holodirected coordination spheres.

In solid state, there are π⋯π, C–H⋯F, C–H⋯O, and F⋯F interactions between adjacent units to generate 3D supramolecular structure.
