In the title compound, [Pb(C(10)H(11)O(2))(2)](n) or [Pb(hino)(2)](n), the lead(II) ion is chelated by two hinokitiolate ligands in a distorted square-pyramidal configuration, with Pb-O bond lengths in the range 2.327 (6)-2.479 (9) Å. The 6s(2) lone electron pair of the lead(II) ion becomes stereochemically active and is directed towards the apex of this pyramid. The crystal structure of the ti...

This research has developed a simple to use, cost effective sensor system for the detection of lead ions in tap water. An under-potential deposited bismuth sub-layer on a thin gold film based electrochemical sensor was designed, manufactured, and evaluated. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement technique was employed in this detection. Tap water from the Cleveland, OH, USA regional w...
