Each PbII unit is six-coordinated by a bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand, a monodentate acetate anion and a bidentate benzoate anion, which also acts as a bridge linking the two PbII atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by O¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds and by ¦Ð¨C¦Ð interactions between the phen rings of neighboring molecules, with a centroid¨Ccentroid distance of 3.577 (3) . %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536809025896
