Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [Pb₂(C₁₀H₈NO)₂(NO₃)₂(CH₃OH)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 PbO interaction is considered, the geometry approximates a -cube in which one of the sites is occupied by a stereochemically active lone pair.
