Coordination Number. Most common coordination numbers for tetravalent compounds are (with typical geometries in parentheses) 4 (tetrahedral), 5 (trigonal bipyramidal), 6 (octahedral). The coordination chemistry of lead closely resembles that of tin. 

Availability. Common starting materials are PbCb, Pb(0Ac)2 3H20 and lead metal which are all freely available at low cost. 

Because of their toxicity, all organolead compounds should be handled in well-ventilated fume-hoods. Workers should wear rubber gloves. Residues should not be thrown down sinks. 

Organolead compounds are best stored under an inert atmosphere at 0 . Many are light-sensitive. Tetraorganoplum-banes, and organolead halides, pseudohalides, sulfides, oxides, carboxylates and sulfonates can usually be handled in air. Other types of compound should be handled under an inert atmosphere. The thermal stability of organolead compounds tends to be quite low (ca. 100 ).

The history of lead is almost as ancient as that of tin. In Roman times, lead was formed into pipes that were used for water supplies (hence our word plumbing, derived from the same Latin word, plumbum, that gives us the s Tnbol Pb). Lead is a component of pewter and also was used as a glaze on drinking vessels. White lead, ... 

Ra. Exceptions to this are environments where Rn is lost from the system by degassing (e.g., see Condomines et al. 2003), or aqueous systems where the insoluble nature of °Pb leads to its preferential removal. The speciation of Pb in natural waters is rather complex and heavily depends on the availability of organic complexing agents for which Pb has the highest affinity. In the oceans, Pb has a very short residence (30-150 yrs) and is rapidly scavenged by particles.

These models have been applied to different scenarios, mainly for two chemicals DeBDE (decabromodiphenyl ether) and Pb (lead). The input data to the models are based on the SFA investigations described above. 

C02 is specifically adsorbed on Pb, leading to the almost complete suppression of routes 3 and 3 and hence only a small production of CO. 

Lead occurs in nature as the sulfide, galena, PbS. Lead is more electropositive than mercury, and roasting the sulfide in air forms lead oxide.

Pb. The total amount and age of uranium combined with the differences in decay rate of the two uranium isotopes leads to the production of distinct ° Pb/ ° Pb lead isotope ratios uniquely related to mineralization (e.g., Gulson 1986 Holkefa/. 2003).

PbO is more stable in alkaline solutions. Anodic oxidation of Pb leads to the selective growth of /I-PbO, which transforms into a-PbO in the course of prolonged polarization, as supported by X-ray diffraction studies and photoelectrochemical experiments [172]. In the presence of sulfate ions, simultaneous formation of basic lead sulfate with PbO has been observed, until the formation of 4Pb0-PbS04. At higher potentials, the oxide film in sulfate ions solution has a strong (110) orientation with microporous structure. X-ray diffractometry and photocurrent measurements have confirmed the presence of... 

Pb Lead, and particularly underpotentially deposited Pb, exhibits electrocatalytic properties in numerous electrode processes. The model reaction can be oxygen reduction with slow step of peroxide reduction ]374-376] or reduction of nitrobenzene and other nitrocompounds [377, 378]. In the case of...
