Three substituted 2,2-bipyridine adducts of lead(II) thenoyltrifluoroacetonate, [Pb(4,4-dm-2,2- bpy)(ttfa)2]2,1, [Pb(5,5-dm-2,2-bpy)(ttfa)2]2,2, and [Pb(4,4-dmo-2,2-bpy)(ttfa)2]2,3, (4,4-dm- 2,2-bpy, 5,5-dm-2,2-bpy, 4,4-dmo-2,2-bpy and ttfa are the abbreviations for 4,4-dimethyl-, 5,5-dimethyl-, and 4,4-dimethoxy-2,2-bipyridine, and thenoyltrifluoroacetonate, respectively) have been synthesized, characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, IR and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and studied by X-ray crystallography. The supramolecular features in these complexes are guided/controlled by weak directional intermolecular interactions.
