The synthesis of 6-methoxyquinoline (6MQ) metal complexes with Copper(II), Nickel(II),Cobalt(II) and Zinc(II) is presented. The crystal structures were determined usingSinglecrystal X-ray techniques (Figure 1). The complexes have been characterized based onFTIR, UV-Vis and Fluorescence spectroscopies. The thermal decomposition of thecompounds was also studied through Thermal gravimetric analysis (TG), showing that thecomplexes were stable until 100°C, then takes place the decomposition. The complexes werefound to be stable despite the free ligand is easily oxidizable. The quantic yield of 1O2 (1∆g)production (Table 1) have been shown that the compounds are good candidates asphotocatalists.
