The asymmetric unit contains one lead(II) cation, one(5-chloro-quinolin-8-yloxy)acetate(L) ligand and a chloride ion. The PbII center is hepta-coordinated in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. The coordination sphere of the Pb atom is completed by two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom of the same L ligand, two bridging chloride ions and two bridging oxygen atoms of two adjacent L ligands. Two PbII centers are linked by the two L ligands to form a C2-symmetric dimer unit with a planar [Pb2O2] ring. Each dimer unit acts as a secondary building unit(SBU) and links adjacent four dimer units by the chloride atoms and oxygen atoms of carboxylate groups of L, forming a two-dimensional array. Such two-dimensional layers are packed through intermolecular C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. When the dimer unit is viewed as a 4-connected node, 1 is simplified as a 4-nodal 2-D network with square lattices of the diagonal lengths to be 6.079(1). The fluorescence emission peak of complex 1 appears near 407 nm.
