Abstract

In the title complex, [Pb(C14H9O3)4].CH2Cl2, the Pb atom is located at a point of symmetry (\overline{4}) and is coordinated by eight carboxylate O atoms of four benzoylbenzoate anions at the corners of a somewhat distorted trigonal dodecahedron [Pb—O 2.317 (9) and 2.235 (9) Å]. The dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered in holes in the crystal structure, on the fourfold inversion axis between the Pb atoms.
