Lead polonide is the polonide of lead, with the chemical formula of {{chem2|PbPo|auto=1}}. It occurs naturally, as lead is produced in the alpha decay of polonium.{{cite journal |last1=Weigel |first1=F. |year=1959 |title=Chemie des Poloniums |journal=Angewandte Chemie |volume=71 |issue=9 |pages=289–316 |doi=10.1002/ange.19590710902|bibcode=1959AngCh..71..289W}}
Preparation
Lead polonide can be formed by reacting polonium vapour and lead under a vacuum.{{citation|author=A. P. Hagen|date=Sep 2009|isbn=978-0470145401|pages=161|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|title=Inorganic Reactions and Methods, The Formation of Bonds to Group VIB (O, S, Se, Te, Po) Elements}}
Properties
Lead polonide has a sodium chloride structure, which is the same as lead telluride. It has a cubic crystal structure, with the space group Fm{{overline|3}}m (No. 225), with lattice constant a = 6.59 Å.{{citation|author=Richard Dalven|date=Dec 1973|publisher=Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory|title=Recent Studies Of Lead Polonide (PbPo)}} ([https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4fr8487j Link] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628203456/https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4fr8487j |date=2021-06-28 }})
