Bis(quinolin-8-olato-²N,O)lead(II)

L.-H. Zhu, M.-H. Zeng and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The Pb^II atom in the title compound, [Pb(C₉H₆NO)₂], is N,O-chelated by two organic ligands, and two molecules are linked across a centre of inversion to form a dinuclear entity. These dinuclear entities are linked by somewhat weaker PbO bonds into a chain. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit with similar geometry around the Pb atoms, which have a pseudo-pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination with one of the axial positions occupied by the Pb lone pair. Some distances involving the Pb atoms are significantly different between the two molecules.
