title: Di-μ-chlorido-dichlorido-bis{μ-6,6'-dimethoxy-2,2'-[o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}dilead(II)dizinc(II) N,N'-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Pb(2)Zn(2)(C(22)H(18)N(2)O(4))(2)Cl(4)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, was synthesized using a step-by-step method and has a slipped sandwich configuration. The coordination environment of the Zn(2+) ion is distorted square-pyramidal and it is coordinated by N(2)O(2) of the Schiff base ligand and chloride; each Pb(2+) ion is coordinated by the four 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[o-phenyl-ene-bis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolate (L) O atoms and two chloride ions. The Zn(II)Pb(II) dinuclear unit, through an inversion-symmetry operation, forms a tetra-meric complex with double chloride bridges.
