8-Hydroxyquinoline → Zinc oxyquinolate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A cooling tube and a stirrer were set in a 100 ml eggplant flask. 2.8 g (11 mmol) of zinc acetylacetonate (made by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), 50 mL of dimethylformamide, and 3.19 g (22 mmol) of 8-quinolinol were placed in the flask to obtain a dimethylformamide dispersion liquid of bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc(II) (Znq2). The dispersion liquid was dropped into 1000 ml of water little by little. The deposited solid was filtered, and recovered. The recovered solid was washed with a small amount of methanol, and dried to obtain 2.5 g of a powder of Znq2 (yield of 64%).
