In an approach to the synthesis of ligands specific for Pb{sup 2+}, lead complexes with mono- and bis(thiohydroxamic acids) have been prepared and characterized on the basis of their elemental analyses and their infrared, NMR, and UV spectra. The structures of the two compounds bis(N-methylthiobenzohydroxamato)lead(II) (2) and bis(N-methylthioacetohydroxamato)lead(II) (5) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using automated counter methods. The structure of 2 is based on a five-coordinate geometry in which the sulfur atoms and the stereochemically active electron lone pair on Pb{sup 2+} occupy the equatorial positions of a trigonal bipyramid. The axial positions are occupied by the oxygen atoms and weak, outer-sphere coordination occurs from ligation by the thiohydroxamate oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules. Compound 5 exists in a similar pseudotrigonal-bipyramidal geometry in the solid state, but the equatorial positions are occupied by the lone electron pair on lead, one oxygen atom, and one sulfur atom. Bis(N-methylthiobenzohydroxamato)lead(II) (2) crystallizes in space group C2/c with Z = 4, a = 18.067 (2) {angstrom}, b = 12.518 (2) {angstrom}, c = 8.103 (1) {angstrom} and {beta} = 101.93 (1){degree}. Bis(acetothiohydroxamato)lead(II) (5) crystallizes in space group P2{sub 1}/n with Z = 4, a = 7.958 (2) {angstrom}, b = 7.445 (1) {angstrom}, c = 19.007 (3) {angstrom}, and {beta} = 98.74 (2){degree}.
