Bis[O,O′-bis­(4-tert-butyl­phen­yl) di­thio­phosphato-κ²S,S′]bis­(pyridine-κN)lead(II)

In the title compound, [Pb(C₂₀H₂₆O₂PS₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], the Pb^II ion is coordinated by two S,S′-bidentate anions and two pyridine mol­ecules. The PbN₂S₄ 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.
