Plumbocene is not commercially available. It may be synthesized by the reaction of sodium cyclopentadienide with a lead(II) source such as lead(II) nitrate[1] or lead(II) iodide.[2]

The decamethyl analog, PbCp*2 (decamethylplumbocene), and the half-sandwich complexes, Cp*Pb[BF4] (lead(II) pentamethylcyclopentadienide tetrafluoroborate) and Cp*PbCl (lead(II) chloride pentamethylcyclopentadienide), are known as well.[3]
