Abstract

The title compound, Pb[N=ButPh]3Li·thf, has been synthesised by nucleophilic substitution of (C5H 5)2 Pb (1 equiv.) with LiN=C(But)(Ph)(2equiv.) and shown by X-ray crystallography to have a distorted trigonal bipyramidal PbN3Li core structure in which the phenyl groups of the imino ligands face towards, and encircle, the Pb.
