Bis(quinoline-2-carboxylato-κ2N,O)lead(II)

Abstract

The PbII atom in the title compound, [Pb(C10H6NO2)2], is N,O-chelated by two quinoline-2-carboxylate anions in a distorted Ψ-trigonal–bipyramidal environment; four atoms are connected to the PbII atom by regular coordination bonds. The structure also features two somewhat long Pb...O interactions [2.952 (3) and 3.014 (3) Å]. These long interactions give rise to a layer coordination polymer having the lead atom in a distorted Ψ-monocapped octahedral geometry.
