The reaction of lead acetate, benzoic acid and 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) in aqueous solution yielded the title complex, [Pb(C(7)H(5)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·C(7)H(6)O(2). The asymmetric unit contains two independent complex mol-ecules as well as two independent benzoic acid solvent mol-ecules, one of which is disordered over two positions with almost equal occupancies [0.504 (5) and 0.496 (5)]. Th...

Among the commonly encountered dental irregularities which constitute developing malocclusion is the crossbite. During primary and mixed dentition phase, the crossbite is seen very often and if left untreated during these phases then a simple problem may be transformed into a more complex problem. Different techniques have been used to correct anterior and posterior crossbites in mixed dentitio...

Cobalt(II) nitrate hexa-hydrate and sodium dicyanamide self-assembled in dimethyl-formamide (DMF) and 4-methyl-pyridine solutions to form the title compound, [Co(C(2)N(3))(2)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)](n). The Co(2+) ion lies on an inversion center and adopts an octa-hedral coordination geometry in which four N atoms from four different dicyanamide ligands lie in the equatorial plane and two 4-methyl-pyrid...
