A new heterometallic iodoplumbate was synthesized solvothermally. The complex, [Co(phen)₃]₂[Pb₃Cu₆I₁₆]·C₂H₅OH, contains a novel Pb₃Cu₆I₁₆ net made up of linked Pb₃I₁₁ and Cu₆I₁₁ clusters. The clusters form a BN-type layer, where the Pb₃I₁₁ and Cu₆I₁₁ clusters take the place of B and N. The layers, which are separated by [Co(phen)₃]²⁺ cations, contain cavities in which ethanol molecules are located.
