Abstract: In the tetranuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Pb₄(NO₃)₈(C₁₁H₁₀N₂)₄], irregular PbN₂O₅ and PbN₂O₄ coordination polyhedra occur. The heptacoordinated lead(II) ion is bonded to two bidentate and one monodentate nitrate ion and one bidentate 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine (mbpy) ligand. The six-coordinate lead(II) ion is bonded to one bidentate and two monodentate nitrate anions and one mbpy ligand. In the crystal, bridging nitrate anions lead to infinite chains propagating in [111]. A number of C-HO hydrogen bonds may stabilize the structure.
