Abstract
In the polymeric title complex, [Pb(2)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)(C(10)H(6)O(6)S(2))](n), the acetate anion functions in a chelating mode and both O atoms also coordinate to adjacent Pb(II) atoms. The naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate dianion, which lies on a center of inversion, is connected to four Pb(II) atoms. The bridging modes of the monoanion and dianion give rise to a three-dimensional coordination polymer. The Pb(II) atom is eight-coordinate in the form of an undefined coordination polyhedron.
