Hemiaquabis(2-fluorobenzoato-κ2O,O′)bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)lead(II) dihydrate

In the title compound, [Pb(C7H4FO2)(2)(C12H8N2)(2)(H2O)(0.5)]center dot 2H(2)O, the Pb-II atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two bidentate chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, four O atoms from two 2-fluorobenzoate ligands and a half-occupied water molecule in an irregular coordination geometry. One carboxylate O atom and two F atoms are each disordered over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.558 (6) and 0.442 (6). The two crystallographically independent phen ligands are co-planar [dihedral angle 0.0 (2)degrees]. Centroid centroid distances of 3.659 (7) and 3.687 (7) angstrom indicate pi-pi stacking interactions between neighboring phen ligands. In the crystal, O-H center dot center dot center dot O, C-H center dot center dot center dot F and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules and uncoordinated water molecules into a supramolecular network.
