Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a lead(II) compound that exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound exhibits a Ψ-octahedral geometry for the lead(II) atom.
- Two longer Pb⋯O interactions distort the geometry towards a Ψ-square-antiprism.
- Colorless crystals were obtained after several days of crystallization.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at a special lead compound and found that its shape is a bit squished, which is interesting for scientists.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by loading lead(II) acetate and quinoline-2-carboxylic acid into a tube filled with dry ethanol and heating it.
