The absorption spectra of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of substituted 8-hydroxyquinolines
Abstract
The absorption spectra of a number of substituted 8-hydroxyquinolines, their anions, their protonated cations, and their complexes with several cations have been measured. The results show that both the substituents and the metal cations interact strongly with the π-system of the ligand and therefore with one another.
