Abstract: In the title compound, [Pb(NO₃)₂(C₁₆H₁₅N₅)], the Pb^II ion is chelated by three N atoms of a bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (IDB) ligand and two O atoms from each of two nitrate ligands, resulting in an asymmetric seven-coordinate configuration. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds and - interactions, with ring-centroid separations of 3.578 (5) and 3.686 (5) Å, leading to a three-dimensional network.
