(-Alanine)dibromolead(II)

K. Reynolds, R. D. Willett and B. Twamley

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [PbBr₂(C₃H₇NO₂)], contains Pb²⁺ ions, Br^- ions and -alanine molecules in their zwitterion form. Each lead(II) ion has a seven-coordinate geometry, with four sites occupied by Br^- ions, two by a bidentate carboxylate group and the last by a single O atom. The singly-bridging Br^- ions link the Pb^II ions into layers that are further aggregated into a three dimensional array by the formation of Pb-O bonds and hydrogen bonds involving the -NH₃⁺ groups.
