Lead(II) oxide, also called lead monoxide, is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula PbO. PbO occurs in two polymorphs: litharge having a tetragonal crystal structure, and massicot having an orthorhombic crystal structure. Modern applications for PbO are mostly in lead-based industrial glass and industrial ceramics, including computer components. It is an amphoteric oxide.

Preparation


PbO may be prepared by heating lead metal in air at approximately 600 °C. At this temperature it is also the end product of oxidation of other lead oxides in air:[3]


PbO2293 °C Pb12O19351 °C Pb12O17375 °C Pb3O4605 °C PbO

Thermal decomposition of lead(II) nitrate or lead(II) carbonate also results in the formation of PbO:



2 Pb(NO3)2 → 2 PbO + 4 NO2 + O2

PbCO3 → PbO + CO2


PbO is produced on a large scale as an intermediate product in refining raw lead ores into metallic lead. The usual lead ore is galena (lead(II) sulfide). At high temperature (1,000 °C) the sulfide is converted to the oxide:[4]


2 PbS + 3 O2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO2

Metallic lead is obtained by reducing the PbO with carbon monoxide at around 1,200 °C:[5]


PbO + CO → Pb + CO2


Structure


As determined by X-ray crystallography, both polymorphs, tetragonal and orthorhombic feature a pyramidal four-coordinate lead center. In the tetragonal form the four Pb-O bonds have the same length, but in the orthorhombic two are shorter and two longer. The pyramidal nature indicates the presence of a stereochemically active lone pair of electrons.[6] When PbO occurs in tetragonal lattice structure it is called litharge; and when the PbO has orthorhombic lattice structure it is called massicot. The PbO can be changed from massicot to litharge or vice versa by controlled heating and cooling.[7] The tetragonal form is usually red or orange color, while the orthorhombic is usually yellow or orange, but the color is not a very reliable indicator of the structure.[8] The tetragonal and orthorhombic forms of PbO occur naturally as rare minerals.



Reactions


The red and yellow forms of this material are related by a small change in enthalpy:


PbO(red) → PbO(yellow)   ΔH = 1.6 kJ/mol

PbO is amphoteric, which means that it reacts with both acids and with bases. With acids, it forms salts of Pb2+ via the intermediacy of oxo clusters such as [Pb6O(OH)6]4+. With strong bases, PbO dissolves to form plumbite (also called plumbate(II)) salts:[9]


PbO + H2O + OH → [Pb(OH)3]


Applications


The kind of lead in lead glass is normally PbO, and PbO is used extensively in making glass. Depending on the glass, the benefit of using PbO in glass can be one or more of increasing the refractive index of the glass, decreasing the viscosity of the glass, increasing the electrical resistivity of the glass, and increasing the ability of the glass to absorb X-rays. Adding PbO to industrial ceramics (as well as glass) makes the materials more magnetically and electrically inert (raises the Curie temperature) and is often used for this purpose.[10] Historically PbO was also used extensively in ceramic glazes for household ceramics, and it is still used, but not extensively any more. Other less dominant applications include the vulcanization of rubber and the production of certain pigments and paints.[11] PbO is used in cathode ray tube glass to block X-ray emission, but mainly in the neck and funnel because it can cause discoloration when used in the faceplate. Strontium oxide is preferred for the faceplate.[citation needed]


The consumption of lead, and hence the processing of PbO, correlates with the number of automobiles because it remains the key component of automotive lead-acid batteries.[12]



Niche or declining uses


A mixture of PbO with glycerine sets to a hard, waterproof cement that has been used to join the flat glass sides and bottoms of aquariums, and was also once used to seal glass panels in window frames. It is a component of lead paints.


In powdered tetragonal litharge form, it can be mixed with linseed oil and then boiled to create a weather-resistant sizing used in gilding. The litharge would give the sizing a dark red color that made the gold leaf appear warm and lustrous, while the linseed oil would impart adhesion and a flat durable binding surface.


PbO is used in certain condensation reactions in organic synthesis.[13]


PbO is the input photoconductor in a video camera tube called the Plumbicon.



Health issues

Lead oxide may be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. It causes irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It affects gum tissue, central nervous system, kidneys, blood, and reproductive system. It can bioaccumulate in plants and in mammals.[14]
