title: catena-Poly[[[aqua-[(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)acetato-κO,O']lead(II)]-μ(3)-[(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)acetato-κO:O,O':O']] monohydrate].
abstract: In the title complex, {[Pb(C(8)H(7)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), the Pb(II) atom is seven-coordinated by six carboxyl-ate O atoms from four different 2-hydroxy-phenyl-acetate (2-dph) ligands and one water mol-ecule, displaying a hemidirected irregular geometry, with the empty side of the metal ion capped by a benzene ring forming a Pb⋯π contact [Pb⋯centroid distance = 3.342 (2) Å]. One 2-dph ligand functions in a bridging mode and connects Pb ions into a linear chain. The crystal packing is governed by intra- and inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
