In the title dinuclear complex, [Pb2(C7H4ClO2)4(C10H8N2)], the PbII 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].
