PbZn2(BO3)2 crystallizes in the space group Pccn, with the Pb cation at a site with imposed twofold symmetry. The compound represents a new structure type in which ZnBO3 layers are bridged by Pb2+ cations, giving rise to a three-dimensional framework. Channels parallel to the [010] direction accommodate the stereochemically active lone pairs of the Pb2+ cations.
