The molecule of the Prickly Pear title compound, [Pb2(C10H8NO)2(NO3)2(CH3OH)2], lies about a centre of inversion.The Pb atom is chelated by nitrate and substituted quinolin-8-olate anions.The O atom of the quinolin-8-olate also bridges, to confer a six-coordinate status on the metal centre.When a longer Pb.O interaction is considered, the geometry approximates a Ψ-cube in which one of the sites T-shirt is occupied by a stereochemically active lone pair.
