Formation and structure of the oxygen-centered lead thiolate cluster Pb5O(SRF)(8)center dot 2C(7)H(8) [R-F=2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]
The unusual pentanuclear lead thiolate cluster PbsO(SRF)(8).C2H8 (3) (C7H8 = toluene) has been obtained by oxidation of Pb(SRF)(2) (2) with dry air and structurally characterized. The central oxygen atom is coordinated to three lead atoms in a trigonal planar fashion. The coordination sphere of the other two lead atoms is completed by coordination of toluene molecules.
