Complexing properties of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)8-hydroxyquinoline.
The reactions of the new ligand, 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-8-hydroxyquinoline with selected metal ions have been studied. With Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), 1:1 complexes are formed in solution which are considerably more stable than the corresponding complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline. With AI(III) stable 1:1 and 2:1 complexes are formed. With the aid of molecular models, the enhanced stability is attributed to the formation of a strain-free 5,6 bicyclic chelate-ring system.
