Abstract

The classic zigzagged chain structure of orthorhombic plumbocene, [Pb(η-C₅H₅)₂]_∞, is obtained by crystal growth from the vapour phase; however, crystallisation from toluene results in modification of the conformation of the polymer chain, as observed in the solvate [Pb(η-C₅H₅)·C₆H₅Me] _∞ 1, and cyclisation into hexamers, as seen in the new hexagonal phase [Pb(η-C₅H₅)₂]₆ 2.
