Abstract: Both independent Pb^II atoms in the title compound, [Pb₂(C₁₀H₈NO)₂(C₂H₃O₂)₂], are chelated by acetate and substituted quinolin-8-olate anions; the O atoms of the quinolin-8-olates also bridge to confer a five-coordinate status to each metal center. The geometry approximates a distorted -fac octahedron in which one of the sites is occupied by a stereochemically active lone pair.
