Bis(μ2-quinoline-2-carboxylato)-κ3N,O1:O1;κ3O1:N,O1-bis[(acetato-κO)(ethanol-κO)lead(II)]

Abstract

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Pb2(C10H6NO2)2(CH3COO)2(C2H5OH)2], one O atom of the carboxylate group of the quinoline-2-carboxylate anion connects the two PbII atoms. The PbII atom is surrounded by four O atoms and one N atom in a Ψ-octahedral PbO4NE geometry (E is the electron lone pair). Two longer Pb...O interactions distort the geometry towards a Ψ-square-antiprism. Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules.
