Conclusion
The study describes a lead coordination polymer with a unique structure formed by pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate ligands.
Supporting Evidence
- The lead ion is eight-coordinated in a distorted square-antiprismatic geometry.
- The structure features weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
- The compound was obtained in a 45.67% yield based on lead.
Takeaway
Scientists created a special structure using lead and a chemical called pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate, which helps hold the lead atoms together in a unique way.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by mixing lead nitrate and pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid in an aqueous solution, followed by heating and cooling to form crystals.
