title: K(4)[PbSe(4)]⋅en⋅NH(3) : a non-oxide, non-halide inorganic lead(IV) compound.
abstract: The first inorganic lead(IV) compound without oxygen, nitrogen or halogen ligands attached to the lead atom was obtained as the potassium salt of the tetraselenidoplumbate(IV) anion [Pb(IV) Se4 ](4-) . It is stable under inert conditions which may enable the transfer of the chemistry of chalcogenidogermanate(IV) or chalcogenidostannate(IV) materials, to the lead homologues.
