The title compound, [Pb(C(6)F(5)S)(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n), shows the Pb(II) atom in a ψ-trigonal bipyramidal S(2)N(2) bonding environment. Pyridine N atoms occupy axial sites, while thiol-ate S atoms and a stereochemically active lone pair occupy equatorial sites. Very long inter-molecular Pb⋯S inter-actions [3.618 (4) and 3.614 (4) Å] yield a weakly associated one-dimensional polymeric structure extending parallel to [010].
