μ-4,4′-Bipyridine-κ(2) N:N′-bis­[bis­(2-chloro­benzoato-κ(2) O,O′)lead(II)]

In the title dinuclear complex, [Pb(2)(C(7)H(4)ClO(2))(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Pb(II) atom is five-coordinated by four carboxyl­ate O atoms from two 2-chloro­benzoate ligands and one N atom from a bridging 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) ligand, displaying a hemi-directed coordination. The 4,4′-bpy ligand has an inversion center at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. The empty side of the metal ion is capped by two carboxyl­ate O atoms from a neighboring mol­ecule, with weak Pb⋯O contacts [Pb⋯O = 3.069 (2) and 3.071 (3) Å]. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between the benzene and pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.749 (3) Å].
