    Organolead compounds

    Tetraethyllead

    Laboratory Scale,

    Thermolysis leads to radical reactions.

    Tetraalkyl and tetraaryl lead compounds are inert with respect to attack by air and water at room temperature. WHY ????

    Me3PbCl consists of linear chain
    Solid state structure of Cp2Pb shows polymeric nature, but in the gas phase, discrete Cp2Pb molecules are present which possess the bent structure similar to silicon analogue.
    R2Pb=PbR2 are similar to analogues tin compounds

    Problems

    1. Find out the structures of (Me3SiCH2)3SnF and Me2SnF2

      Solution: use VSEPR theory
    2.
