Lead tetrachloride, also known as lead(IV) chloride, has the molecular formula PbCl₄. It is a yellow, oily liquid which is stable below 0 °C, and decomposes at 50 °C.^[2] It has a tetrahedral configuration, with lead as the central atom. The Pb–Cl covalent bonds have been measured to be 247 pm and the bond energy is 243 kJ⋅mol⁻¹.^[4]
