Abstract: The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, [PbCl₂(C₇H₁₂N₂S)₄], the first mononuclear lead complex containing a 2-mercapto-1-alkylimidazole ligand to be structurally characterized, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The six-coordinate Pb atom displays a distorted octahedral geometry and is surrounded by four thione groups and two cis chloro ligands, with average Pb-S and Pb-Cl bond distances of 2.946  (3) and 3.058  (2)  Å, respectively.
