In the title compound, [Pb(C6H4NO2)(N3)(H2O)]n, the Pb ion is seven‐coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate (inic) ligands and two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules, forming a distorted monocapped triangular prismatic coordination geometry. Each azide ligand bridges three PbII ions in a μ1,1,3 coordination mode to form a two‐dimensional three‐connected 63 topology network extending in the bc plane. The carboxylate group of the inic unit and the aqua ligand act as coligands to bridge PbII ions. Adjacent two‐dimensional layers are connected by hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the isonicotinate N atom and the water molecule, resulting in an extended three‐dimensional network. The title complex is the first reported coordination polymer involving a p‐block metal, an azide and a carboxylate.
