Structural chemical formula for white lead (basic lead carbonate)

White lead or basic lead carbonate (2PbCO3·Pb[OH]2) is a complex salt, containing both carbonate and hydroxide ions. It was formerly used as an ingredient for lead paint and a cosmetic called Venetian ceruse, because of its opacity and the satiny smooth mixture it made with dryable oils. Public domain.)
