title: Bis(benzoato-κO,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')lead(II) benzoic acid mono-solvate.
abstract: The reaction of lead acetate, benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in aqueous solution yielded the title complex, [Pb(C(7)H(5)O(2))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]·C(7)H(6)O(2). In the crystal, the Pb(II) ion is hexa-coordinated by two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms from two chelate benzoate anions. If the second benzoate ligand is treated as one coordination site, the overall coordination may be represented as a distorted pseudo-square pyramid. An inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond links the solvent benzoic acid mol-ecule with a metal-coordinated benzoate ligand. The shortest Pb⋯Pb distance is 3.864 (4) Å, indicating a weak metal-metal inter-action. Two complex mol-ecules related by an inversion centre form dimeric units via Pb⋯O inter-actions of 3.206 (4) Å.
