A novel nano, cauliflower-shaped lead(II) metal-organic coordination polymer, [Pb(μ-2-pinh)(N3)OH2]n (1), was synthesized using an ultrasonic method. The nanostructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermal analysis. The compound was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and takes the form of a zigzag onedimensional polymer in the solid-state. The coordination number of the lead(II) ions is six (PbN4O2), with one oxygen and three nitrogen donor atoms derived from two linker organic ligands, one nitrogen atom from a terminal azide anion and one oxygen from coordinated water. It has a stereochemically active lone electron pair, and the coordination sphere is hemidirected. The zigzag 1D chains interact with neighbouring chains through weak interactions, creating a 3D supramolecular metal-organic framework. Lead oxide nanoparticles were obtained by thermolysis of the new nano coordination compound at 180 °C with oleic acid as a surfactant. The morphology and size were further studied using SEM. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses demonstrate the electronic properties of the lead centre and other atoms.
