PbF2 is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Pb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded to four equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing FPb4 tetrahedra. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pb(1) atoms.
PbF2 is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Pb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.63 Å) Pb(1)-F(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Pb(1)-F(2) bond distances ranging from 2.45-2.61 Å. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(2) is bonded to four equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing FPb4 tetrahedra. In the second F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pb(1) atoms.
