Is K+[Pb(OH)3] possible? Could the cation be exchanged?

Yes, to a first approximation..........

Explanation:

K+[Pb(OH)3] is the SALT of potassium ion, K+, and the complex ion, [Pb(OH)3]. I do not know whether this ion has been actually isolated and characterized; [Pb(OH)4]2 is better known. In either case, we could potentially exchange the potassium cation for other cations such as Na+ or Li+, but probably not for NH+4, why not?
