In the title complex, [Pb(CI4H903)4].CH2CI..2, the Pb atom is located at a point of symmetry (4) and is coordinated by eight carboxylate O atoms of four benzoylbenzoate anions at the corners of a somewhat distorted trigonal dodecahedron [Pb---O 2.317 (9) and 2.235 (9)A]. The dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered in holes in the crystal structure, on the fourfold inversion axis between the Pb atoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
