Abstract
In the title compound, [Pb(2)(C(7)H(4)FO(2))(4)(H(2)O)(2)](n), one Pb(II) atom is coordinated by seven O atoms and one F atom from five 2-fluoro-benzoate ligands, and the other Pb(II) atom is coordinated by five O atoms from four 2-fluoro-benzoate ligands and three water mol-ecules, resulting in distorted PbO(7)F and PbO(8) polyhedra. The 2-fluoro-benzoate ligands bridge Pb atoms, giving rise to a one-dimensional chain structure extending along the [100] direction. The polymeric chains are connected via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions, with an inter-planar distance of 3.46 (1) Å. An intramolecular O-H⋯F interaction is also present.
