Hybrid organic–inorganic crystal structure of 4-(di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium di­methyl­ammonium tetra­chlorido­lead(II)

The title compound, (C(2)H(8)N)(C(7)H(11)N(2))[PbCl(4)], is a hybrid organic–inorganic material. It crystallizes in the space group C2/c and contains one half of a mol­ecule of lead chloride, 4-(di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium, and di­methyl­ammonium in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure exhibits chains of lead chloride capped by 4-(di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium and di­methyl­ammoium by hydrogen bonding. This creates a one-dimensional zipper-like structure down the a axis. The crystal structure is examined and compared to a similar structure containing lead chloride and di­methyl­benzene-1,4-diaminium.
