title: Bis(μ-2-methyl-quinolin-8-olato)-κN,O:O;κO:N,O-bis-[(methanol-κO)(nitrato-κO,O')lead(II)].
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Pb(2)(C(10)H(8)NO)(2)(NO(3))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)], lies about a centre of inversion. The Pb atom is chelated by nitrate and substituted quinolin-8-olate anions. The O atom of the quinolin-8-olate also bridges, to confer a six-coordinate status on the metal centre. When a longer Pb⋯O inter-action is considered, the geometry approximates a Ψ-cube in which one of the sites is occupied by a stereochemically active lone pair.
