The first examples of lead(II) boroxides, [Pb(OB{CH(SiMe3)2}2)2] (1) and [{N^C}PbOB{CH(SiMe3)2}2] (5; N^C = 2-Me2NCH2C6H4), were prepared via simple protocols. These structurally characterised compounds are stable and, unlike lead(II) alkoxides and siloxides, do not trigger uncontrolled formation of lead(II) oxoclusters.
