Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal microsheets of 8-hydroxyquinoline zinc (Znq2) were synthesized readily via a mixed solvent induced self-assembly method. The 2D optical waveguiding properties of the microsheets have been clearly revealed by both fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy. In addition, the reversible vapochromic properties of the microsheets have also been demonstrated when t...

Mixed ligand transition metal complexes having general formula ML 2 .HL', where M = Cu(II) or Pd(II); L = deprotonated 1-nitroso-2-naphthol or 8-hydroxyquinoline; HL' = picolinic acid or quinaldinic acid have been synthesised and characterised on the basis of Infrared, electronic absorption spectral data, magnetic and conductance measurements. The above study reveals the octahedral geometry of ...

Molecules of the title compound, C9H8NO+.Cl-.H2O, are linked into two rings by strong hydrogen bonding via the free water molecules and the Cl- anions. The two hydrogen-bonded rings are joined to give a corrugated chain along [001]. Comparisons with other 8-hydroxyquinoline-based salts are also presented, highlighting similar ring structures in a 1:1 salt with Kemp's triacid (r-1,c-3,c-5-trimet...

Based on the dramatic accelerating effect of 2-aminophenol, three ligands derived from 2-aminophenol were developed. Copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of nitrogen-containing nucleophiles with aryl bromides was efficiently carried out under mild conditions using 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-8-hydroxyquinoline as a novel, simple, and versatile ligand.
