Abstract
The structure of the title compound, [Pb(2)(C(5)H(3)N(2)O(2))(4)(H(2)O)(6)]·2H(2)O, is composed of dimeric mol-ecules in which two symmetry-related Pb(2+) ions are bridged by a pair of two pyridazine-4-carboxyl-ate ligand mol-ecules via both heterocyclic N atoms and two water O atoms. Each Pb(2+) ion is also coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms and three water O atoms, leading to a highly irregular coordination polyhedron around Pb(2+). The dimers are inter-connected by hydrogen bonds between coordinated and uncoordinated water mol-ecules and the carboxyl-ate O atoms. O-H⋯N inter-actions are also present.
