A three-dimensional lead(II) coordination polymer: poly[aqua-μ-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylato-lead(II)]
Abstract
In the title coordination polymer, [Pb(C5H2N2O4)(H2O)]n, the PbII atom is seven-coordinated by one N atom and five O atoms from four individual imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate (HIDC2−) groups and one water molecule. It is interesting to note that the HIDC2− group serves as a bridging ligand to link the PbII atoms into a three-dimensional microporous open-framework.
