Reactions of 2-(hy­droxy­methyl)pyridine (Hhmp) with PbCl2 and Pb(NO3)2 at room temperature led to the formation of two novel compounds, namely tetra­kis­[[mu]3-(pyridin-2-yl)methanol­ato]-tetra­hedro-tetra­kis­[chlorido­lead(II)], [Pb4(C6H6NO)4Cl4], (I), and poly[([mu]2-nitrato)[[mu]2-(pyridin-2-yl)methanol­ato]lead(II)], [Pb(C6H6NO)(NO3)]n, (II). Com­pound (I) exhibits a tetra­nuclear Pb4O4 cubane structure, which is connected through [pi]-[pi] stacking inter­actions between the pyridine groups of the (pyridin-2-yl)methanol­ate (hmp-) ligands and through C-H...Cl inter­actions to form an inter­esting threefold diamondoid network. Compound (II) possesses two-dimensional (4,4)-sql topology based on a Pb2O2 unit, which is further extended into a three-dimensional supra­molecular network through [pi]-[pi] stacking inter­actions between adjacent pyridine rings and through C-H...O inter­actions between the pyridine C atoms of the hmp- ligands and the nitrate anions.
