The title compound, {(C8H20N2)[PbI4]}n, is an inorganic–organic hybrid. The structure is composed of alternate layers of two-dimensional corner-sharing PbI6 octahedra (overline{1} symmetry) and 1,4-bis(ammoniomethyl)cyclohexane cations (overline{1} symmetry) extending parallel to the bc plane. The cations interact with the inorganic layer via N—H...I hydrogen bonding in the right-angled halogen sub-type of the terminal halide hydrogen-bonding motif.
