Abstract: The organic-inorganic hybrid, {(C₆H₁₃N₃)₂[Pb₃I₁₀]}_n, was obtained by the reaction of 1-(3-ammoniopropyl)imidazolium triiodide and PbI₂ at room temperature. The structure contains one-dimensional {[Pb₃I₁₀]^4-}_n polymeric anions spreading parallel to [001], resulting from face-face-edge association of PbI₆ distorted octahedra. One of the Pb^II cations is imposed at an inversion centre, whereas the second occupies a general position. N-HI hydrogen bonds connect the organic cations and inorganic anions.
