Reports the solid-state and electronic structure of a lead(I) dimer in a new chemical complex, suggesting unique bonding properties.
The lead(I) dimer [Pb(tBuAmDipp)]2 ([tBuAmDipp]– = [tBuC{NDipp}2]–, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) was formed as a side product during the reaction of the aluminyl anion [K{Al(NON)}]2 ([NON]2– = [O{SiMe2NDipp}2]2–) and the plumbylene [Pb(tBuAmDipp)Cl]2. Herein we report the solid-state and electronic structure of this hitherto unknown Pb(I) complex.
