Lead compounds, diphenyllead

Recently, redistribution reactions between phenyllead compounds have been used to prepare triphenyllead chloride from tetraphenyllead and diphenyllead dichloride 202>, and, using mercury acetate in acetic acid as a catalyst, phenyllead triacetate from diphenyllead diacetate and lead tetraacetate, and diphenyllead diacetate from tetraphenyllead and lead tetraacetate 325>. The mercury acetate catalyst is notable in that it does not catalyze the redistribution of alkyllead compounds. 

An organolead chelate complex with lead-nitrogen bonds was recently examined 64). Diphenyllead bis(8-hydroxyquinolate), like the corresponding tin compound, probably has an octahedral structure.
