Abstract

The title compound, {[(C₅H₅)₉Pb ₄]^-[(C₅H₅)₅Pb ₂]^-[Li(12-crown-4)₂]⁺₂} 1, is synthesised by the reaction of [(C₅H₅) ₂Pb] and [(C₅H₅)Li] and 12-crown-4 (3:1:2 equiv.), and is shown by X-ray diffraction to contain both a quintuple-decker and a triple-decker sandwich anion; in contrast, the corresponding reaction with [(C₅H₅)₂Sn] (which possesses no such polymeric lattice of its own) in place of [(C₅H₅) ₂Pb]_∞ yields the simple 'paddlewheel' molecule {[(C₅H₅)₃Sn]^-[Li(12-crown-4) ₂]⁺}2.
