The title compound, {(C14H18N2)[Pb2I6]}n, consists of discrete 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-(ethane-1,2-di­yl)dipyridinium cations and one-dimensional [Pb2I6]n anions. The organic cation has an inversion center at the mid-point of the ethane C—C bond. In the anion, the PbII atom is coordinated by six I atoms in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The I atoms bridge the PbII atoms into a polymeric chain running along [001]. These inorganic chains are separated by the isolated organic cations.

Comment top

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials offer an important opportunity to combine useful properties of inorganic and organic systems within a single molecular-scale composite (Manjunatha et al., 2011). As a member of this family, there continues to be interest in the study on the design and synthesis of novel metal halides due to their potential applications in the fields of optics and electrical conductivity, as well as their structural diversity (Jin et al., 2011). In this contribution, we use 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium dichloride as an organic ligand, generating an organic-inorganic hybrid, which is reported here.

The title compound consists of discrete 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium cations and one-dimensional ploymeric anions, [Pb2I6]n. The organic cation has an inversion center at the middle of the ethane C—C bond. In the anion, the PbII atom is coordinated by six iodide atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The Pb—I bond lengths lie in a normal range (Table 1) (Lemmerer & Billing, 2006). The iodide atoms bridge the PbII atoms, forming polymeric chains running along [0 0 1]. These inorganic chains are separated by the isolated organic cations.

Experimental top

A mixture of 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium dichloride (0.1 mmol, 0.030 g), KI (0.6 mmol, 0.10 g) and Pb(NO3)2 (0.2 mmol, 0.0662 g) in distilled water (12 ml) was placed in a Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel, heated to 423 K for 4 d and then cooled to room temperature over 12 h. Black block crystals were obtained after five months by slow evaporation of the solvent (yield: 62% based on Pb).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (CH), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.96 (CH3) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C).
