Bis[O,O′-bis­(4-tert-butyl­phen­yl) di­thio­phosphato-κ(2) S,S′]bis­(pyridine-κN)lead(II)

In the title compound, [Pb(C(20)H(26)O(2)PS(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Pb(II) ion is coordinated by two S,S′-bidentate anions and two pyridine mol­ecules. The PbN(2)S(4) coordination geometry approximates to a penta­gonal bipyramid with one equatorial site vacant. The N atoms occupy the axial sites. One of the pyridine mol­ecules is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.907 (7):0.093 (7) ratio and one of the tert-butyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.534 (6):0.466 (6) ratio. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action occurs in one of the ligands. In the crystal, pairs of short Pb⋯S contacts [3.4018 (11) Å] generate a centrosymmetric dimeric assembly with the distant S atom lying in the region of the vacant coordination site of the metal atom. No directional packing inter­actions occur.
