Stereochemically active valence electrons are not present in the structure of [C5Pr(i))3H2]2Pb, which, like [C5Me4(SiMe2Bu(t))]2Pb, possesses parallel cyclopentadienyl rings. There are no close intramolecular contacts that force the rings to be parallel; the structure is consistent with the lack of a strong electronic preference for bending in heavy group 14 metallocenes.
