Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a lead-based hybrid compound with a three-dimensional framework.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound consists of a three-dimensional inorganic-organic hybrid framework.
- The asymmetric unit contains two Pb2+ cations, one Cl− anion, and one and a half terephthalate anions.
- The study provides detailed bond lengths and coordination environments of the lead cations.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a special type of material made of lead and other elements, and they found out how its tiny building blocks are arranged.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized using X-ray crystallography.
