Polymorphism of lead(ii) benzenethiolate: a noncentrosymmetric new allotropic form of Pb(SPh)2

Abstract

Depending upon its conditions of crystallization, lead(II) benzenethiolate can exist in two forms: a low-temperature centrosymmetric phase α-Pb(SPh)2 which can be converted by heating into the noncentrosymmetric, 2nd order NLO strongly active and room temperature metastable β-Pb(SPh)2 phase, thus affording an example of transition towards noncentrosymmetry induced by a rise of temperature.
