title: Poly[1,4-bis-(ammonio-meth-yl)cyclo-hexane [di-μ-chlorido-dichloridoplumbate(II)]].
abstract: The title compound, {(C(8)H(20)N(2))[PbCl(4)]}(n), crystallizes as an layered inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite-type structure. Corner-sharing PbCl(6) octa-hedra extend parallel to the ac plane. Adjacent layers are staggered relative to one another, with diammonium cations separating these layers. The cations exhibit symmetry and inter-act with the inorganic sheets via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding in the right-angled halogen sub-type of the terminal halide hydrogen-bonding motif.
